Patriot Records Project Committee
Laura Kozin, Chairman
PRP volunteers will make
finding and identifying Revolutionary War patriots
in-hard-to-search collections easier than ever. The
project will bring the exploits of the American
patriots, who sacrificed so much, to life.
The project begins with the
Continental Loan Books of Massachusetts, Connecticut,
New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, New
Jersey and New York. The Continental Loan Books
contain the names of men, women and businesses who
helped to finance the War for Independence. Other
collections scheduled to be indexed include the South
Carolina Audited Accounts, New Jersey Revolutionary
War Miscellaneous Records, North Carolina Audited
Records and many, many more collections.
The Patriot Records Project
index will be available as part of the DAR Genealogy
Research System. It is hoped this index will provide
not only genealogists but also history students,
researchers, scholars and teachers with a tool to
assist in their study of the Revolutionary War period.
The records span over 75 years, starting at the very
beginning of the Revolutionary War through the last
petitions for remuneration.
Be part of bringing these
valuable records to life! And remember, indexing is
something you can do in your own home, on your own
computer.
