AF-642: A Closer Look at Military Records #4 Aug 17, 2022

Show notes

A source of military records that is unorthodox but interesting and potentially extremely rewarding is old newspaper records. Local newspapers did not often publish articles about what the hometown boys were doing on the front during times of war. Soldiers sometimes wrote home to the local papers, as well. This is what you can find on your military ancestor in digitized old newspaper records online.

AF-638: The State Capitals: Alaska, Part 2 Aug 08, 2022

Show notes

Alaska is a harsh, inhospitable land to those unfamiliar with it, and it is for this reason that it took Europeans so long to explore it, much less colonize it. As with many things in human society, the discovery of gold in Juneau brought people to that area, making it a town and eventually the state capital. Here is its incredible story.
