Regular Meeting of East Texas Genealogical Society, Tyler, TX

Saturday, September 11, 2004

Tyler Public Library - Taylor Auditorium

2:00 p.m.


Speaker: Dr. George Schweitzer on video


Program: "Revolutionary War Genealogy Video Presentation"


Come join us for a Revolutionary War Genealogy video presentation by Dr.
George Schweitzer. While dressed in period costume and assuming the identity
of Bill Stubberfield of the Second North Carolina Infantry of the
Continental Army, Dr. Schweitzer discuss the reasons the war was fought; the
hardships endured by the men; and the strategies behind a few battles.

In his usual style of wit and humor, Dr. Schweitzer shares information about
locating records of genealogical value from this period and points out
reasons why discrepancies in such information as an individual's age may
exist between various records. He shares information about various records
relating to the war such as Pension Applications, Bounty Land Grants,
Certificates of Payment, DAR books, Militia Bounty Land Grants, Microfilm
files of the Service Records of the Continental Army, and more.

Whether you're an experienced genealogist or just beginning your research,
you will enjoy Dr. Schweitzer's presentation.
