Researching British-Occupied Areas

 

Researchers can run into difficulties tracing ancestors who lived in areas of the colonies that were occupied by British forces during the Revolutionary War. Proving patriotic service can be especially challenging depending on the dates of service and the duration of the occupation. The DAR staff has compiled these resources on some of the main areas of British occupation during the war to help you either get started or to move along your research in these areas. We are always open to suggestions so if you discover a resource that is not listed, please email [email protected] with the title or link.
