Military records are valuable for identifying further information about an ancestor, but they are not easily accessible to search. [https://www.familysearch.org/en/ | Military records are valuable for identifying further information about an ancestor, but they are not easily accessible to search. [https://www.familysearch.org/en/library/ The FamilySearch Library] has not microfilmed many of them, and it is very difficult to get information by writing. An exception could be the colonial records housed in the general archives of Segovia, Sevilla, and Simancas in Spain. However, for most family research problems, military records are difficult to access and are scattered in various archives. | ||
Other sources such as church records and civil registration are more easily available and contain much of the same information. The military records that have been microfilmed by the library are for the most part indexed and not difficult to read, but they are incomplete for several years. | Other sources such as church records and civil registration are more easily available and contain much of the same information.
