Hi Kristi:
I found three Gilson's that had service in PA. If you feel that one of these men is your ancestor and you would like to order the application you may do so, by sending a check for $10.00 payable to The Treasurer General and send it along with the informatin of your Ancestor to the following address:
The Registrar General NSDAR
Attn:Records Department
1776 D Street NW
Washington,DC 20003-5392
This is a very busy department, it has been taking 6-8 weeks for a reply. If you are interested in becoming a member of the DAR send your Name, Address and Phone # to our supervisor Glenda at this e-mail address glendamt@aol.com and she will put you in touch with a chapter in your area.
This is a free lookup service provided by the DAR VIS Volunteers at this Message Board.
Regards,
Laura
