Ancestry Site Opens Index of War Records

Morning Edition, May 25, 2007 · The genealogy Web site Ancestry.com is
making millions of U.S. military records available online through June 6,
the anniversary of D-Day in Europe. The free access allows people to search
through indexed databases of draft cards, POW records and other information
in search of family history.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to www.ancestry.com and click on "U.S. Military Collection,
1600's-1970's" on the right side of the screen under "Whats New on
Ancestry.com".
There is obviously much more data to be added yet to cover 1600-1970 but
much exists for the Civil War, WWI, and WWII. Check back often as other
conflicts are added.

Folks,
The following came from another surname list on which I subscribe. If
you've got a lot of time, it appears to be a great resource! I'm weeding
through the MCKAY's in NEW YORK right now and have found folks I hadn't run
across in other searches.
I can't wait until they get OHIO done for my lines in my home state!

Here's an alternative for ya'll -
For a specific other state or special project -
http://www.usgenweb-search.us/
(not all states are available but soon will be)
I found it quite interesting as these just focus on web sites associated
with
the various USGenWeb Project sites - which depending upon your query can be
more specific perhaps than Ancestry, Google or some other search engine.
I know for myself that my family tended to hop across county lines rather
than the lines redrawn around them as the census years rolled by. Perhaps
your missing family is sitting just over a county line - where you may have
not been looking.
