Want to know more about the Military Records available on your family members?

 
THIS FRIDAY night (May 27th) - GeneaBloggers Radio host Thomas MacEntee will be talking about Military Records and Genealogy.  This is certainly a timely topic for discussion on the Memorial Day holiday weekend when we honor veteran family members and friends.

Thomas will be talking with Curt Witcher of the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana about the War of 1812 pension files and the Preserve the Pensions campaign aimed to digitize all 7.2 million images from the War of 1812.   Also Thomas will be talking to Jeffrey Vaillant about Civil War records available to researchers/genealogist.

The event is scheduled to begin at 10 pm EST.  Tune in by clicking here:  GeneaBloggers Radio
