Do you have a veteran in your family tree? In this presentation, learn
about sources, tips, and tricks that you can use to learn about your
military ancestor from the Civil War to the present. Presentations
below focus on a particular conflict.
Presenter Russ Horton, Wisconsin Veterans Museum Reference and
Outreach Archivist, grew up in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. His position at the
museum is primarily to help researchers learn more about Wisconsin’s
veterans. Those researchers include genealogists working on family
trees, local historians studying the veterans in their community,
students researching for projects, and professional historians writing
books. He also intakes collection donations.
Russ will be presenting his program for the Genealogy Group that meets
the first Saturday of the month at the library and online, and for all
others who may be interested in beginning or refining a search for a
military family member.
