Mike,
Whenever you can trace anything from the DAR - SAR- as you stated earlier- thats a surefire way of proof.
My grandmother did amazing research in her travels all over the world, and into her homeland especially , Ireland. I was fortunate indeed to be able to be included in her sharing of those travels .
I understand the DAR registry.
For myself, I embrace being alive on this earth ,and being human.
For us all , in enjoying life and breath, and in the amazing circumstance , we find the love of our life, for myself, that is the prime directive.
Sláinte ...
On the surface....
Well said, Sharon. Human race! Dad's family is DAR/SAR. My PA Dutch mom-mom hated to admit there was a Brit in the past, let alone any IRISH. We teased her mercilessly, with love. She was a heck of a cook. I preferred the Irish seven-course meal - a sixpack and a potato

McCutcheon - Scots Irish.... my early grandfather was born 1755 in Augusta County,Virginia. After the natives lost at Culloden in 1749, the Highland Clearances started almost immediately. Your ancestors were probably forcibly shipped off to Ireland around 1752, then to America in 1753, and somewhere on that inspiring, toughening, forging frontier your g-g-g-g-g-g-grandfather was born in a rustic cabin. And in your blood flows the frontier freedom that only Americans know. From terrible pain, greatness.

Yeah I think we're related. We both got the same cousin Fug Lee.

Americans of Irish descent are known as Narrowbacks by the Irish. Must be related. My uncle's name was Harry Back. His cousins are talking above: Home Lee, Ugh Lee, and Fug Lee. Small world! I think I got traits from both sides of the family: the Harry Back side and the Fug Lee side, but mom says she loves me, even if no one else can.

So I got to thinking how many of you have strong Irish roots? Post your family surname mine is Moore I wouldn't call them strong Irish roots but my mother's side of the family is Irish and/or Scottish (nobody is sure) with a surname of Struthers. My father's side is almost 100% German/PA Dutch.
Eh...wot?

This grandfather is buried within 5 miles of me now in Alabama under a headstone as a veteran of the Revolutionary War. He passed in 1835. Thanks so much.
