Hi gang, Sorry that the military info I say I would put up, didn't show up. I live in the Pacific Northwest and yesterday we lost our PG&E. So here the info that I have stored away in my resource library. 1]. Veterans and their families: <http://www.archives.gov/veterans/evetrecs/index.html> resource site. 2]. Wars by dates, pre 20th century NORTH AMERICAN chart: <http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/1030/wars.html> list of wars from 1565. 3]. Resource site: <http://www.members.aol.com/ForVets/htomr.htm> 4] AMERICAN Revolution (1689). <http://vlib.iue.it/history/index.html> A huge site of links and information. 5] DAR site: <http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=3174> database of ancestors and their decendants. also: <http://www.dar.org/library/default.cfm> 6]. Britsh officers: <http://redcoat.future.easyspace.com/> a listing of British officers in the Revoution. End. Some of these links go back to 1999, so may not work still, would apprciate knowning of its demise. ~hum.Linda~ Words are the window to the Heart.
