These records, including enlistment papers, muster rolls, and discharge documents, offer insights into an ancestor's service, rank, and even personal details such as age and birthplace.

Military records can reveal family connections, migration patterns, and regional histories, enhancing understanding of one's lineage. Additionally, these documents may include notes on family members and residences, helping to trace familial ties. For genealogists, accessing these records is essential for building a comprehensive family history.
