If we stop and think about it, where would we be if we did not have the support of the military. We owe them much thanks and gratitude. These unselfish men and women who answered the call to keep America safe. To go into foreign countries, so that our borders would be protected. So that OUR FAMILIES would be safe. I have great respect for those serving in the military.
Genealogy is one way that we can honor these brave people.
So, with that being said, what are you going to need?
HISTORY is going to be your best friend here. What do I mean by this? Look at the dates that your family member was born in and see what war was going on. Check out what area they are in and see if there were any military base around the location. Several of these bases have been closed down, but you should be able to get information.
What do these records tell me?
- Name of family member, when born, general description of person
- contact person
- if married and have children
- workplace and address
