That was "ancestors", not what I mis-typed... -------Original Message------- From: jans884@bellsouth.net Date: 6/21/2012 10:29:11 AM To: LAOrleans Subject: Re: [LAORLEAN] Fold 3 - Military Records Thanks Alexa, I agree, most of my 'finds' have been in the late or early hours of the night. I like to think that is when my ascestors whisper to me LOL I did sign up for Fold3 through Ancestry, got a good deal so why not.

My most astounding breakthroughs have always been late night/wee morning hours. My "Bingo!" and "Yippee!" shouts have startled quiet a few out of a sound sleep, including the furry family members. Military records can be found at familysearch.org as mentioned, as well as ancestry.com and Fold3, but don't forget Heritage Quest. I found entire Revolutionary War pension files there. One late night I found my great-grandfather's military records at familysearch.org plus the birth record of his daughter by his first marriage two things I'd been searching for years. I simply searched his name, no dates, no locations, and up popped some wonderful information. My point is: check every available resource. Even the free sites hold great treasures. Go back and check often, new things are being added all the time, plus, at ancestry.com. people can add corrections or alternate names, making findings easier - sometimes. Can't tell you have many records I've added to on that site.
