I go to the Moulton Archives, in Moulton, AL to do family research . The lady there Wendy is awesome and if you have any reason to research in that area the Archives is a gold mine.

I asked Wendy could I copy the list of wars. I was given permission. I want to share it here. How many times have you come across some of your family members that served in a war and had to google the dates of the war. Now you wont have to. Thank you Wendy and Lawrence Co Archives.
