Revolutionary War Records - probably the best place to start is the DAR Message Board. You can request a lookup in the Patriot Index, where almost all Rev. War soldiers and other combatants are listed: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/board/rw/topics.organizations.dar I started to post a bunch of separate wars and where to find specific records, but I have most of it summed up here, or links to collections of resources for specific conflicts: http://valoriez.blogspot.com/2004/04/us-military-records.html I would appreciate an update if you find broken links, or know of any great sites I don't have listed. Ancestry has finished their database of WWI Draft Registration Cards - please email me directly if you would like a lookup. The WWII POW database sounds interesting, also. Again, email me directly if you would like a lookup. I will NOT honor requests for lookups posted on the list, sorry. This would have been my mother's 77th birthday, had she lived this long. I honor both she and my Dad, a veteran of the Pacific Theater of WWII today. Valorie
