====== '''<u>Preserving Family Memories using Microsoft Word, even if you can’t type -- Part 1</u>''' ======
======<u>'''Military Records - Military'''</u>======
This will be an interactive, participatory demonstration and workshop to get you started with ideas about collecting and organizing family memories, and an introduction to using Microsoft Word.  You don’t need to know how to type.  You will be presented with some computer basics, including how to use a mouse, even if your hand shakes.  You will learn how to enter stories in the form of text through typing and dictation.  We will talk about some basic formatting, spelling and grammar tools, how to change things if you want to move text around, saving and printing your story, and a class bonus of page numbering, paragraphs and line spacing.  Future classes will build upon the knowledge presented here to teach you how to build a family history book.
Military records are found in many places on the internet from 1785 to the Vietnam war. You will learn how to find specific records on different websites, and how to google unusual records. Pension files and how to order them, are so important and you can find much information on other members of the serviceman's family.  Death records can be found as well as marriage dates and places. Some explain what they did in the service, and where they served.
