Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Understanding the American Revolution as a Genealogist – An Interview with Michael Strauss
Q: How do Loyalists and their descendants fit into the broader story of American history?
Loyalists came from many backgrounds and faced lasting consequences, with some leaving the U.S. while others stayed and faced penalties; their children often inherited lingering loyalties and identity questions that resurfaced in later conflicts like the War of 1812.
Understanding the American Revolution as a Genealogist – An Interview with Michael Strauss
Q: How should researchers handle negative results or missing records?
If a search comes up empty, it's important to consult archivists, published finding aids, and alternative record sets, and to consider broader record groups or different departments that might hold indirect evidence.
Understanding the American Revolution as a Genealogist – An Interview with Michael Strauss
Q: What records are most useful for researching Patriot soldiers and their lives?
Pension files are highly valuable as they contain narratives about enlistment, campaigns, and personal circumstances, often accompanied by neighbor or family corroboration, enabling detailed reconstruction of service.
Understanding the American Revolution as a Genealogist – An Interview with Michael Strauss
Q: What's the biggest misconception that you find people have about the American Revolution?
The Revolution was not a unified, single-faction uprising; it was a civil war with Patriots, Loyalists, and neutrals, and understanding this complexity is crucial for accurate genealogical interpretation.
All About the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) – An Interview with Katharine Andrew
Q: So, DAR is one of the better known lineage societies, but with that said, can you remind us what the DAR is and who's eligible to join?
The DAR is a lineage society open to descendants of patriots who contributed to the American Revolution, including not only soldiers but also those who aided the cause; eligibility hinges on proving descendancy from a validated patriot ancestor, with chapters handling local applications before national approval.
