Message Board Post:
I have undertaken the task of applying for membership in the Sons of the American
Revolution (SAR). It was the wish of a beloved aunt that I undertake this task and I am
hopefully up to the challenge.
Via
ancestry.com I am able to trace my linage back to David Castleman. But I do not know
how to "prove" these relationships.
My great grandfather was James Hunter Castleman and I believe he is the son of George
William Castleman. The DAR has two applications filed by descendants of two of
James's brothers based on their relationship to David Castleman via George William
Castleman (the father of the brothers)
It seems that I can rather easily establish my relationship to James Hunter Castleman but
is it THE James Hunter Castleman, son of George William?
Any advice anyone can provide would be gratefully appreciated. Does anyone have experience
with SAR? Am I naïve in assuming this task has a reasonable chance of success?
