Behind every roll of names lies a nation learning to remember itself. Story Of The Records, D.A.R. opens the doors of the Daughters of the American Revolution and follows the making of its archives of patriot descent, service and sacrifice. Every name carries a story. Written by D.A.R. co-founder Mary S. Lockwood, this classic of American history nonfiction reveals how meticulous record-keeping, from DAR membership records and applications to memorial volumes, grew into a vast repository of american revolution genealogy and United States colonial history. Part organisational and part organizational history book, as well as a genealogical records reference, Lockwood's narrative charts the evolution of DAR records as tools for honouring patriot ancestor lineage and for guiding later generations. Family history researchers and DAR genealogy applicants gain insight into early standards of proof, the care of fragile documents, and the responsibilities of a national lineage society. At once an inside view of daughters of the american revolution history and a practical lineage society research guide, it illuminates how private devotion shaped public memory of the american revolution era. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure for readers.
