Press release
Quote:
Ancestry.com is announcing it has launched the largest collection of U.S.
military records available and searchable online, featuring more than 90
million names that span more than four centuries of American history from
the 1600s through Vietnam.
This U.S. Military Collection includes exclusive record sets such as the
only complete collection of WWI draft registration cards and commemorative
military yearbooks and newspapers. Combined, the records bring to life the
stories and sacrifices of the millions of brave men and women who have
served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Inside the U.S. Military Collection
Ancestry.com’s U.S. Military Collection captures all major wars and
conflicts from American history, including the Revolutionary War, Civil War,
World War I, World War II, and the Korean and Vietnam conflicts as well as
the Spanish-American War and the War of 1812.
The eclectic volume of records features more than 700 databases and titles
and 37 million images of original and often personally autographed
documents including:
a.. World War I and World War II draft registration cards
b.. Prisoner of war records from the War of 1812, Civil War, World War
II, and Korea
c.. Muster rolls (unit rosters) for the Marine Corps 1893-1958 and WWII
U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier Muster rolls, 1939-1949
d.. U.S. Military burial registers 1768-1921
e.. Service Records from Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War
f.. Civil War Pension Index
g.. Casualty listings from WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam
h.. WWI and WWII Stars and Stripes Newspapers
i.. Young American Patriots Military Yearbooks (post WWII)
Rare historical media such as the United Newsreel Motion Pictures (1942 –
1945) are another highlight of the collection, making Ancestry.com the only
online source for all 267 counter-propaganda films shown in U.S. theaters
and abroad during WWII. Produced by the Office of War Information and
financed by the U. S. government, the United Newsreels consisted of several
short stories concerning allied military operations and were reportedly
released in sixteen languages. Newsreels were also dropped behind enemy
lines in a German language version and distributed in friendly and neutral
countries.
Beginning now through June 6th (D-Day), Ancestry.com will make its entire
U.S. Military Collection free to the public. For more information on
Ancestry.com’s U.S. Military Collection, visit www.ancestry.com/military.

release, go to www.ancestry.com/military and view titles by war/conflict.
