Usually at the top of the page you will see a box to search for your ancestors that is a link to Ancestry and of course, that costs money. Skip this box and scroll further down on the pages to find the free stuff. Please remember to copy all the World War II records you can find for anyone in your family as most of them burned in a fire at the Kansas depository. You and/or your family veteran may be the only ones in the world with the record. Do not believe that the Veteran's Administration has copies even if they have been supplied numerous times when the veteran was a patient there or received a disability benefit or other service. They throw them away every two years. And with Veteran's Day coming up next week Nov 11th, I wish to say thank you to all the people that have served our country to keep me free and all of those presently serving. You make our country great. And I am proud to say that members of my family have served in every war the US has ever been involved in from the French and Indian Wars before we were a separate country to Iraq. Bette
