This study provides the names of ancestors who provided service to their country by being in the military while the country was at war (Section II).
The study also provides the names of ancestors who at some time in their lives occupied a position in government (Section III).
My efforts to compile these names was prompted by my continuing desire to learn more about my ancestors. This study is the sixth in a series of studies, which all have had the same basic goal: knowing who my ancestors were, something of their lives, and something of the histories of their times.
These five previous studies are (all of available on Amazon):
