We are very proud to announce that DAR is a founding collaborative partner on the 10 Million Names project just launched by AmericanAncestors! We are delighted to include the names from our Patriots of Color database to help further the research and resources available in uncovering and honoring the names of African Americans who helped build our nation. We hope the project will inspire more people to trace their own lineage and we encourage those women who trace their family history to Revolutionary War Patriots to consider membership in the DAR! Please explore and share the website at 10MillionNames.org.

It is very possible that DAR will assist in the transcription process as we watch the overall project expand, and that is an exciting prospect! Currently, we are adding patriot names to the project's "On the Battlefield: Records of Soldiers, Veterans, and Refugees" research area.
Will the DAR be participating in the transcription process? I recently discovered by grandfather was the mulatto grandson and great-grandson of two plantation owners in East Carroll Parish, LA.
I would love to participate in the Louisiana transcriptions
Thank you. Dorothy Pace M-A-L, Utah
