Family History: Using military history records

Discover popular military records and how they can be used in your family history research.

In this webinar, our experts will draw on collections held at The National Archives and explore how using these sources can enrich genealogical research and help develop your understanding of an ancestor’s time in military service. This webinar will focus on army, navy and other records prior to the Second World War.
