Get Beyond the Big Wars

The United States has been in wars besides the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War and the two World Wars.

Is it possible that your ancestor served in one of the Indian wars, the Spanish-American War, or the Philippine-American War?

Involvement in any of those actions would have generated service and possibly pension records.

  1. While doing a search at the BLM GLO web site for all the original owners on land where my relatives lived (Louisiana), I discovered to my surprise that my Prussian immigrant had received land for service in the Mexican War. I have not been able to locate the Louisiana service records, however. I would like to know more about this war and the men who served.
