Instructor: Larry Luckett, Lt. Col. U.S. Army, Retired

This year we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Allied victory in World War II. Most of us have someone in our family tree who served in that worldwide conflict. This class will help you find those records and sources to illuminate the service of family members, whether Army, Air Corps, Navy, or Marine Corp.

In this class, we will learn what records were produced on the service history for your World War II family member. We will identify records that might be available to trace your ancestor’s deployments overseas and stateside. Both online and archival repositories will be discussed. You will gain information for access to web, library, and archival resources for the record of your veteran's service.
