Countdown: Listen in to this announcement:

Found your ancestor's name, rank, and service dates? Kathleen's next question is: "What else?"

 
Her new book, Behind the Uniform, Volume One: The Early Wars, goes on sale Saturday, October 24, and she's signing copies at 2 p.m. at the Midwest Genealogy Center. Save the date!
Visit tracingancestors.org to learn more.

The book was written for researchers like you - those who want to know what comes next, especially after having found an ancestor's name, rank, and service dates. Its 416 pages cover the French and Indian War through the Civil War, showing how one record leads to another through service records, pension files, bounty-land records, pay records, claims, land records, and court records. It's packed with real-world case studies, chapter checklists, and an appendix of research tools, including timelines and logs.

The book publication is supported in part by Missouri Humanities & Missouri Humanities Trust Fund. Thanks to the support of the Midcontinent Libraries: Midwest Genealogy Center and Woodneath Story Center
