No Battlefield Service Required: Researching Patriotic Ancestors
Your ancestor may not have served on the battlefield, but may still have supported the cause through supplies, medical aid, petitions or oaths of fidelity, service in the Continental Congress, or more yet. This lecture will explore the many records which may shed light on an ancestor’s patriotic leanings and support. We will also examine women’s patriotic service during the Revolutionary War.
Melanie McComb, Senior Genealogist at American Ancestors, an international lecturer and Honorary Fellow of the Massachusetts Historical Society
