LCGHS July meeting

[July 15, 2015]  Gail Leonard, educator for the Decatur Genealogical Society, Decatur, Illinois, will be the guest speaker at the July 20th meeting of the Logan County Genealogical & Historical Society.

Gail's topic will be researching military records. Depending upon the timeframe, and/or war, military records can provide a wealth of information. Some things you may find are date and place of birth; names of parents; units in which served; rank; awards/medals received; if wounded; if became a prisoner of war; if killed in action; if received bounty land; if received a pension; where buried; and how to check for records at both federal and state levels.

The public is invited to join us at 6:30pm at the LCGHS Research Center at 114 N Chicago St. in Lincoln.

Questions may be referred to Roseann Coers at 737-2534.
