Military History For Beginners Workshop
This session will focus on how to research your military ancestors in both national and local records. We will look at the availability of military related records for your ancestors, and how to find information in some service adjacent ones that might help break down some brick walls. Although concentrating on WW1 and WW2 veterans, some of this information will be applicable for more recent or more distant military ancestors.
This is part of the 2026 Armed Forces Festival.
