Timeline: Part 2

The next section in my binder is military timelines. This timeline is useful for more background information, but especially for other reasons as well. Some unexplained moves into or out of a region can be resolved if a draft had been found and men had to enlist..

Here is an example of a military timeline found on Wiki FamilySearch.

  2. The timeline on Wiki familysearch is not very extensive. I believe it goes to 1885 or somewhere around that time.
