Military Records

Military records are among the most genealogically valuable sources available, offering not only proof of service but often the only surviving description of an ancestor — his age, birthplace, physical description, and family members named as beneficiaries. Heritage Books carries military titles spanning every American conflict from the colonial wars through World War II, including published abstracts of Revolutionary War pension files, compiled rosters of Civil War units, regimental histories, and state-specific military indexes. Titles from Genealogical Publishing Company, Southern Historical Press, and Heritage Books' own imprints are well represented throughout this collection.
