Military Research Special Interest Group (SIG)

The Military Research SIG is a group interested in researching our ancestor’s military service regardless of their country of origin. Our ancestors who have served provide a rich family history and their stories should be told to preserve their memories. Monthly military programs are presented to inform the members and public.

As long as there is sufficient interest, this group plans to meet the 1st Tuesday of every month, February through November.

The group is open to anyone who is interested in military research.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
