Military records identify thousands of individuals who served or who were eligible for service. Evidence that an individual actually served may be found in family traditions, census records, naturalization records, biographies, cemetery records, and records of veterans’ organizations. Your ancestors will be more interesting if you learn about their military service and the history of their units. Military records can also give birth dates, marriage dates, death dates, spouse's and children’s names, and localities of residence throughout the life of the family.
 
Many military records are found at the FamilySearch Library, the National Archives, the National Archives—Denver Branch, and the Utah State Archives. The FamilySearch Library also has military histories for the various military engagements. U.S. Military Records provide more information on federal military records and search strategies.
