In celebration of the 200 year anniversary of the War of 1812, I just posted on my blog gophergenealogy@blogger.com the article that I wrote about Ardil Gates who fought in the War of 1812, as did two of his brothers. I am preparing a presentation to be given on June 18 at the Portland Area PAF Users Group that meets in Lake Oswego, Oregon. For more information please google PAPAFUG. These presentations are free and open to the public.
