Can you remember a time before the internet became a genealogist’s best friend? It’s hard to even comprehend the amount of time and effort the web saves us. And while physical research in archives, libraries and courthouses will always serve a purpose, most of our research these days starts online. When it comes to online military records, a lot has changed in the past few years, including the evolution of Footnote into the military-focused collections of Fold3.com. From the Civil War to World War I, this webinar will teach you how to be search-savvy when it comes to seeking your veteran ancestors. This webinar includes a free PDF copy of the article “Operation Online Records.” Plus, submit information about an ancestor whose military record you’d like to find—we’ll feature attendees’ ancestors in our live demonstrations.
