Title – Researching Your Mexican War Ancestor

Webinar Presenter – Craig R. Scott, MA, CG, FUGA

1 hr. 12 min., Beginner level

About the presenter: Craig Scott is a prolific author and historical researcher specializing in federal records, military records, publishing and problem-solving. 

About this webinar: The Mexican War was of short duration.  Yet records like muster rolls, payrolls, enlistment records, medical records, and history were created during the war.  More records were created after the war in pension and bounty land records.  Each record leads to another as the history of your ancestor is unraveled in these military records.
