Patriots DAR = online or CD? SAR = "Yes"
Dear DAR Information Specialists
Mention has been made on this Board of the 1990 DAR Patriots List.Please will you tell me whether the DAR 1990 Patriots List exists in book form only?I would like to obtain the information on a CD, if such exists.Our Broward County Genealogy Society has many DAR index books, which are not as readily accessible as a CD at home.Researchers looking for their Patriot Ancestors, might wish to make http://www.ancestry.comhttp://www.ancestry.com their "first port of call" - as the DAR database is included in Ancestry's databases - categorized under "Directories".
Perhaps your readers would like to know that the {most recent] 1999 SAR Patriots List is available on CD, and the SAR Patriots Index is also searchable online:

Even with short acquaintance with DAR and SAR Patriots records, I've learned that the two index lists of "Patriots of the American Revolution" are NOT identical in all cases, although there is considerable overlapping of persons.PS - There are even some errors, such as birthplace "MA" when it was really Maine.
