Military records identify individuals who served in the military or who were eligible for service. Most young men living in rural parishes were automatically registered in the levying rolls at the time of birth. Evidence that an ancestor actually served may be found in military levying rolls, family records, biographies, census, probate records, civil registration, and church records. | Military records identify individuals who served in the military or who were eligible for service.
