Military Research

Where the Story Begins

Daunting as it may seem, military research begins with artifacts or kernels of truth whispered in family stories. Once the idea is launched, research can branch off into several different sources: service records, pensions, photographs, maps and more; plus some wonderful storytelling artifacts.
