Finding Your Connection to World War I

National Archives at Kansas City
Kansas City, MO

Many Americans had family members who served overseas during the Great War. Others had family members who were German or Austrian immigrants impacted by US immigration policies during wartime. In this introductory session to WWI research, Dr. Mitch Yockelson will offer some hints and tips on how to go about researching relatives that may have served or been affected during the war. Information on how to request copies of military service files via the National Archives will also be available. This program will take place at the National World War I Museum and Memorial, Two Memorial Drive, Kansas City, MO. Reservations are requested.
