Starting today, the genealogy database Ancestry. com will put 90 million American war records online for the years 1607- the Jamstowne settlement--through the end of the Vietnam War.

Researchers of family history will find these records a gold mine of information. You can subscribe to Ancestry for home use at a cost of several hundred dollars a year, or, visit yr local library---most have library editions available for free use by the public.

A great service.
