Happy reminder of our next EWGS meeting, this next Saturday, November 2nd.
EWGS member Sue Richart is coming down from Colville to teach us about doing World War I and World War II research.
Her handout is available on our EWGS website; please print it out for yourself to bring along as there will be very limited copies that day.
Hope you'll come and learn about doing some military history research taught by a really knowledgeable presenter.
"Researching an ancestor who served the U.S. in World War I can be difficult, as there aren't the sorts of comprehensive indexes and collections of service records available as for (other U.S. conflicts)." So David A. Norris began his article in the Jun-Jul 2019 issue of Internet GENEALOGY.
"Drawn from National Archives microfilm, this collection has index cards for anyone who served the U.S. Armed Forces during World War I, and who made claims for Veterans Administration pension insurance or veterans' bonus payments."
The full name/title for this collection on Family Search (and the full title of Norris' article) was "Veteran's Administration Master Index, 1917-1940."
Will this resource be helpful to you?
