My Doughboy's Story

This is a pre-recorded program.

Ready to dig deeper into your WWI Army veteran’s service? This class will take you beyond the basic records and show you where to look, what to search for, and how to connect the clues.

I’ll first walk you through my 2-part research strategy for approaching WWI Army research. You will learn a time saving path to follow instead of searching randomly and hoping you find something. I'll also teach you how to build the absolutely necessary military timeline of service. 

From there, we'll explore where you can find records. You’ll learn how to use the FamilySearch VA Index and the Enlisted and Muster Rolls. We'll take a look at Fold3 Army Morning Reports, Ancestry's USAT ship manifests, NARA Catalog collections, and other online resources to uncover details about a soldier’s military experience.

Whether you’re researching a family member, writing a veteran’s story, or simply want to understand WWI Army records better, this class will give you new tools, resources, and strategies to move your research forward.

Students receive one-year access to the program plus extensive workbooks. Program also includes a Certificate of Completion.
