Event Details
Military service may have greatly defined or influenced an ancestor's life, and during their service an ancestor may also have been part of shaping history. This can make researching their time in the military a potentially exciting project. This webinar will help researchers:
1. Understand the types of records that are generated based on the events that occur during your ancestor’s military service.
2. Use online databases and learn to research on a national and state archive level.
3. Explain military archives available for research, how to locate online materials, and how to contact each archive.

She earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering and has amassed decades of experience as a flight test and systems engineer, and as a professional educator, teaching graduate and undergraduate students. She researches, lectures and writes about genealogy and military history and is the author of numerous books on those subjects.
