Just a slight addition to Julia's comprehensive explanation.
The most recent 3-volume set:
DAR Patriot Index, Centennial Edition 1990
was actually not published until 1994
There also three earlier DAR Patriot Indexes, 1966, 1979 & 1982.These earlier volumes are interesting for the names they contain which are NOT in the later set. This normally means the service for the Patriot was shown to be incorrect. However, the application paper may still have valuable lineage information contained in it.
The 1979 & 1982 volumes have multiple parts making look ups difficult for a large number of queries.
When a query is answered on this Forum, it will undoubtedly be from the Centenniel Edition of the DAR Patriots Index. New Ancestors and Corrections have been published in the DAR Magaine since 1994, making even the latest Patriots Index imperfect.
