MILITARY RECORDS

From locally organized militias during the colonial and Revolutionary War period, to mass mobilizations such as the First and Second World Wars, military records can contain tantalizing clues or detailed data for family history research. Cathy will help us understand what kinds of records exist, where to search for them, and how to make the most of the information we find.
