The North Carolina Genealogical Society presents:
Craig R. Scott, CG, FUGA
Finding a North Carolina Revolutionary War Ancestor
Live Presentation: 21 November 2014, 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm EST
(Free Viewing Period of the recorded webinar: 5-7 December 2014)
North Carolinians were active participants in the Revolutionary War, providing men, supplies, and support for the revolutionary cause. Records were created before, during, and after the war. There is more to research than compiled military service records and pension application files, such as public claims, pension ledgers, and pension payment vouchers. Records are found in the National Archives, Ancestry.com, Fold3.com, the State Library and Archives, and in some unexpected places. Clues to information on ancestors and descendants can be found in the lineage application papers of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution.
Craig Roberts Scott, MA, CG, FUGA, is the President and CEO of Heritage Books, Inc., a genealogical publishing firm with over 5,100 titles in print. A professional genealogical and historical researcher for more than twenty-nine years, he specializes in the records of the National Archives, especially those that relate to the military. He is the Coordinator of the Military tracks at Samford University Institute for Genealogy and Historical Research, Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy and Genealogical Institute of Pittsburgh.
