Presented by Judi Scott, Genealogical Forum of Oregon.
How to Get Started. Where to Look. What is available on the Internet.
Did your ancestor serve? How do you find out? Finding Revolutionary War ancestors can greatly enhance your family tree. Locating them can lead to a wealth of information which often opens up new avenues to pursue – sometimes in places you might not have thought to look.
Although we often hear about the perils of “Internet Genealogy”, there are reliable resources online that allow you to research from home. This presentation focuses on how to get started, what kinds of records are available, some places to look, and of course, how to use those online resources.
