Fall in! It's time to learn a bit about how to research your military ancestors. I'll be looking through a number of American Conflicts and talking about some of the specific resources available for that conflict and probably sprinkling in some more broadly applicable military research tips. This week we talk about the War of 1812.

Thanks for working your way through the back catalog! I’ve got plans for an episode on Native American genealogy, so stay tuned. As far as 19th century Austrian academic records, what are you hunting for specifically?

Apologies if you’ve covered it already (I haven’t finished all the back episodes yet--good stuff!) but I was wondering if you could talk about 1. Researching Native Americans (husband’s gggrandfather claimed *his* father was Cheyenne, but he’s a cipher) and 2. Maybe hints on researchig higher education or apprenticeship records in 19th c. Austria. Thanks!
