Edgewood New Mexico FamilySearch Center/Class Notes: Difference between revisions

One thing that was popular with the audience was the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall feature. ''Fold3'' lets you search by name or zoom in on the wall itself to a name. Selecting a name brings up the person’s military records including when and where they served and how they were killed. Below is a screen shot from the class illustrating this feature.  

Barrett explained why ''Fold3'' is such a useful site. “Several websites have good access to military records. ''FamilySearch'' and ''Ancestry'', for example, are very good. However, ''Fold3'', with its major focus on military records is, in my opinion, the best single source for military records. The search engine used to be a little difficult to use, but recent improvements make the search feature easy and powerful. You can also browse by war or conflict. A major feature is that you can set up a memorial to honor your veteran ancestor. And many documents and records are exclusively on ''Fold3''. In my own experience, I have found records on ''Fold3'' that I had not found on any other website.”
