Presented in cooperation with Maryland Public Television (MPT), this beginner-to-intermediate genealogy webinar series uses case studies to illustrate researching military ancestors in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, and World War I.

The two-hour sessions are scheduled for 7:00pm ET on January 20, February 3, February 17, and March 3. Since all the sessions will be recorded, you can combine attending live with watching sessions after the fact.
