I am so glad another person looked for Israel Bliss and posted the findings here! When I read your posting on the DAR message board, I checked for him, too. If you will contact me at rchrdcck@aol.com, I can give you some hints to help fill out your application. Do you already have a copy of the DAR application submitted by Israel's descendant who joined DAR? The other reply was right; it was an old number. However, that is a good place to start.
