WW II Service: Discovering your Ancestor's Story using Online Resources

Military service is an important part of an ancestor’s story. Fortunately, many records exist—but a service record tells only part of that story. Understanding what an ancestor actually experienced adds another dimension. This presentation will focus on World War II service and explore sources and techniques for gathering and analyzing information about both military service and personal experiences. For those researching Army ancestors, we’ll also explore online sources that can help reconstruct information lost in the 1973 fire at the National Personnel Records Center.
