Red, White, and Blue: Military Records

March 08, 2012

Military records add so much color and depth to your family’s genealogy. Knowing your person’s regiment and company, and learning what battles those companies participated in can help you to generate interest in your family history, even from those family members who aren’t really interested in genealogy. 

Our annual Spring Seminar is this weekend, and MGC is offering Red, White and Blue: Military Records on Saturday, March 10 (9 am-5 pm) and Sunday, March 11 (1pm-5 pm). Speakers include Beth Foulk and Kathleen Brandt, and topics range from the records of the American Revolution through the Spanish and Mexican Wars. The cost is just $15, and you may register for this event online or by calling us at 816-252-7228.
