Genealogy Speaker Series: American Military Records of the 18th and 19th Century

Join the Polk County History Center for this month’s Genealogy Speaker Series, featuring Sandy Rumble.

The presentation will highlight the commonly used veterans’ benefits records from the 18th and 19th centuries which can be used as valuable tools for distinguishing individuals with the same name. These documents often reveal post-service lives and provide key demographic insights for family history research.

This is a virtual program presented by the Polk County History Center and Genealogical Library. The presenter will appear virtually via Zoom. For Zoom details, contact the Polk County History Center at (863) 534-4386 or ShannonGraham@polk-county.net.
