Why You Can’t Find Your War Of 1812 Soldier In Military Records

Описание: Looking through compiled military service records, but not finding your ancestor?

It’s because you’re not looking at all the possibilities.

That’s right, there was more than one type of soldier and how they enlisted changes how you search for a War of 1812 soldier.

And I’m here to help you learn how to find and use them to uncover more about your family history.

Because we’re about more than “hatch, match, and dispatch”, am I right?
