Researching Your World War II Ancestors
Friday, November 2, 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Michael L. Strauss
The attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 plunged the United States into its second global conflict of the twentieth century. On both the home front and battlefield, our country started to mobilize to defeat the Axis Powers. Researching your ancestors who served during World War II can be rewarding, but not without some obstacles. With the Fire of 1973 in St. Louis, MO, that destroyed tens of thousands of personnel files, genealogists need to focus their research on reconstructing lost or destroyed records. This workshop/lecture uses these records along with others presented as practical exercises to find your ancestors during World War II. (All levels) Learn more . . .
