Civil War Military Symposium

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

I am currently planning on attending a Civil War Symposium in Fort Wayne Indiana at the Allen County Library on Friday and Saturday Oct. 8 and 9, 2010.

If any of my fellow Milwaukee researchers would like to tag along, I would welcome the company.

http://thing1.acpl.lib.in.us/genealogy/Military%20Symposium_2010.pdf

The Allen County library has a large collection of genealogy materials from all states. I have heard it is definitely worth the trip out there if one can go.

It is approximately 5-6 hours to drive out there (depending on Chicago Traffic). I don’t know when I will be leaving yet. It will either be Thursday or very early Friday to give me time to do research at the library at least for a few hours. (first session starts Friday at 2:30) (It will also depends on the other passengers).

If you are interested let me know. You would be responsible for all your own costs (admission, hotel, food, etc.) I am willing to split a room if you are comfortable with that.

Let me know by sending me an email, placing a comment below or calling 262-783-1620.

Military Records Research Tip

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Research tip: If you’re planning to order Civil War pension or military service files from the National Archives, get your order(s) in soon. We were at the archives last week and the indication is they expect a sharp rise in the number of orders once the 150th anniversary of the Civil War officially arrives in April. This likely will increase the time it takes to fill orders.

Thank you to Civil War Roots for letting us know!

Washington County GenWeb

Monday, July 26th, 2010

I recently added a new project to my list of things to do in my spare time. I am not the webmaster for the Washington County, WIGenWeb website. It will be very similar to my Waukesha and Milwaukee sites in style and layout. If you have any Washington County resources you want to add, please be sure to send the information my way! I will add it as quickly as I can.

I am still putting a few finishing touches on the site, but if you are interested in taking a peak it can be found at www.LinksToThePast.com/washington
