WikiTree Symposium: "Military Pensions: Vital Records in Disguise!" with Patti Todd Gillespie

Military pension records are an amazing source of information! This presentation creates family trees and puts /”flesh on the bones/” of several individuals with the results found in the United States pension records. It also goes through the steps of retrieving pensions from various repositories.

Patti Todd Gillespie brings energy and humor to her classes. She is a believer in lifetime learning and inclusive presenting. An avid hobby genealogist for 30 years, Patti formed Family Lines & Stories, her own research company, 7 years ago. She stays busy researching for clients and speaks to groups, small and large, in and out of Texas. A former teacher of French & English, Patti very much enjoys presenting. She watches genealogy webinars and South Korean and Chinese television shows when not attending to her husband, children, grandchildren, landscaping, and rescue dog.
