Celebrating the 4th of July
As a genealogist I appreciate history. My ancestors lived what we learn about in the history books. That's why I've always been fascinated by genealogy. In this last week of June and beginning of July I will be showcasing the military service of some of my ancestors who fought in the American Revolution. There are quite a few who served to make this country free. Some, I know a lot of their service, others not so much beyond a few militia muster rolls. However, all of them did what they could to survive the birth of a new country. Look for future postings on the military might of my early american ancestors. For them, I have much to celebrate this holiday.
