Instructor: Larry Luckett.  “…to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and orphan…,” Abraham Lincoln pledged in his second inaugural address. And pensions for U.S. veterans have produced a treasure trove of records rich in genealogical details. Led by genealogist and military history enthusiast Larry Luckett, the class will explore the records, resources, and strategies for tracing pensions for military widows and orphans in your family tree.

Instructor: Larry Luckett. The U.S. military organizations generated voluminous records that could be useful in telling the story of your ancestor.  Through induction, basic and advanced training, deployment and active service, and discharge or death, the Services maintained records of accountability and utilization of individuals and units. Larry Luckett, genealogist and military history enthusiast, will identify individual and organizational records created by the military services, their content of genealogical interest, and where and how to access the records for research.
