Has anyone else discovered they are directly related to someone from the Revolutionary War?
Earlier this year I was tracing back my family tree, and realized that I am a direct descendant of someone who fought in the Revolutionary War, and that on his side of the family, we've been here on US soil since 1731

yes- we trace our history all the way back to the revolutionary war. We have always kept a family tree and people from every generation have painstakenly kept it acurate. We have names, dates, children ect. But it is more than names and dates- our family history is solid and is passed down to every new generation. Here are some details:

One of my relatives wanted to become a member of the "Daughters of the American Revolution" organization and to do so had to have a verified record that ancestors dated back in America to the Revolution. The record was obtained and she got in.

I also had a relative who was in the "Patriotic Sons of Pennsylvania" organization which I think is similar to the D.O.A.R.

I'm not certain when our relatives arrived in North America, but I doubt it was on the Mayflower.
