Class Description
This presentation will focus on the discussion of online sites for researching Military Records. We believe attendees will be impressed with the number of sites that are available online for doing military research. We will not only discuss obvious sites such as Fold3 and the National Archives. However, we will explore many sites that are no so well known; but which contain a wealth of information. We will also discuss ways of identifying those of your ancestors who likely served in the various wars, dating back to the Revolutionary War. For those of you who might have an interest in learning if you can qualify for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) or Sons of the American Revolutions (SAR), we will touch upon that subject, as well.
The initial part of the presentation will be a Power Point discussion of the various sites and then in the latter part of the program, we will provide a live demonstration of how to search and explore the sites.
