Online Military Records
Thanks to recent Internet advances, military records that once required writing away to archives and waiting weeks are now only a few clicks away — as are records that were formerly inaccessible.
In this Webinar, you’ll learn how to tap a variety of free and subscription Websites to find service records, pension records and more. Even if your ancestor never served in the military, draft registrations can help fill in the blanks in your family tree!
