How can we know what our Revolutionary ancestors really did in their daily lives? Who brought the crops in? Is the house still standing? In this talk Sara will walk us through techniques that may yield more details about the experiences of our ancestors at home or in the line of march. Don't worry if Ken Burns didn't mention your family in his Revolutionary War series. We are learning something new every day in this 250th Celebration Year. Now let's apply it to our own families. If you have Revolutionary War descendants, bring your own stories to share.
