Military Search Web Sites

 Military Search Web Sites

          There are many ways to search for military records of your ancestors.  If you belong to Ancestry.com you will find an entire section on Military Records – this includes the Revolutionary War, Civil war, WWI, WWII, and other conflicts, such as Vietnam. If you are not a member of Ancestry.com, you can still find a lot of information at various web sites.  Here is a list of sites to explore:

Kentucky Commonwealth sites:

Federal sites:

Note: Some of these sites require you to download a form and mail it in or otherwise write a request and they will conduct a search and mail you copies of records. There is a small fee involved. I have done this and it works.
