America 250: Unlock Your Ancestors' Military Records

Discover the stories behind your ancestors’ military records! This seminar shows how U. S. military records can enrich genealogy research by revealing an ancestor’s life, service, and character. You will learn how to access records through powerful resources, interpret the records, and create a lasting memorial page to honor your ancestor’s service and sacrifice. This talk will be given by Ron Chan, a published genealogy author and Co-Founder of the Chinese American GI Project, which works to ensure that veteran legacies are not lost, forgotten, or ignored.
