Question

 
 

Do you have ancestors who participated in the American Revolutionary War?  Do you have an interest in the historical aspects of this war?  If so, we are looking for new members to join.

Project recognition (and Wikitree member participation) is not limited to the soldiers and civilians who fought for American independence - this project recognizes service from all nationalities including British, French, Spanish, Native American, and others.

You can learn more details about the project here:

Answer 1

Yes, I would like to join this project. With America's 250th anniversary just around the corner, this is where my focus has been. I've been researching since 2006 & have 22 Ancestor patriots filed to DAR, including most recently a French-Canadian who came down to fight the British in NY state.

I also have 3 Ancestors proved to GSMD. The stories you find in these processes are amazing!

I think I'd be most useful on the profile improvement team.

Answer 2

Hello!  I have a few ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War.  Those that I know for sure are West Harris, Etheldred Harris, and George Shankle.

I'm interested in joining the categorization team as it seems that's a spot that needs a lot of work!

I would like to join the 1776 Project. Initially I would like to join the Profile Development Team. I am a retired librarian and member of NSDAR.
