The U.S. -Mexican War Soldier & Sailor Database Is Available Online for Free

 The following announcement is found at the Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park website:

"The National Park Service’s Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park (NPS) announces the launch of the U.S.-Mexican War Soldier & Sailor database.

"This online, searchable database contains information for over 85,000 U.S. and Mexican veterans who served in this war. Many records include personal details, such as hair color and occupation.

"The database allows descendants of these soldiers and sailors to connect to their personal history and helps Palo Alto commemorate and tell the stories of those who served. This invaluable research tool benefits genealogists, historians, as well as people who may have never known they are related to a U.S.-Mexican War veteran."
