I have an ancestor that was a member of the DAR, and I have the her ID number - I think. I have access to the DAR database on Ancestry.com, but when I use the number as a keyword, it comes up with 0 matches. I've tried using her name, both as a married and maiden form, and still come up with nothing. I've even tried all the possible surnames that might have been her Revolutionary War Patriot, and cannot find her.

The number is 429953 This seems a bit long, and I've tried taking off the second 9 to see if it was a transcribing error, and taking off the 4 in the front to see if that was an error, or the three at the end to see if it was there in error.

The ancestor was Beatrice Ethyl (LYNCH) Beatty. Wife of Finely Beatty and was born in Allegheny County, PA, and died in Allegheny County, PA.

I'm beginning to wonder if she didn't make up the number and claim to be DAR, although we have several that were in the Rev War. Just curious. Thanks for any help in advance.
