SUMMARY:Webinar - Digitizing History & the Veteran Bounty Land Project with Rebecca Whitman Koford [10 Dec 2025]
DESCRIPTION:Bounty land was the reward for service to veterans from the Revolution through the Mexican War. Applications for bounty land from veterans or their heirs are bursting with genealogical information\, but researchers rarely see it because records for the War of 1812 onwards are only found at the National Archives. Learn about the value of these records\, how to access them\, and the project to digitize them and make them publicly available. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRebecca Whitman Koford holds credentials as a Certified Genealogist® and as a Certified Genealogical Lecturer®. She focuses on research in Maryland\, Upstate New York\, Virginia\, the District of Columbia\, colonial records\, military records from the Revolution through the Civil War\, federal records at the National Archives (D.C.)\, and land records of all types. She is co-author of the NGS Research in the States series book on Maryland. Rebecca is a graduate and former mentor of the ProGen Study Group and served as its Administrator from 2015–2020. She speaks at national conferences and regularly teaches at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy (SLIG)\, the Institute of Genealogical and Historical Research (IGHR). She served as Executive Director of the Board for Certification of Genealogists® from 2018–2024. In 2021\, she was named as Director of the Genealogical Institute on Federal Records (Gen-Fed) in Washington\, D.C. Rebecca was elected as the Vice-President of the National Genealogical Society in October 2024. \n\n\n\nRegister for Digitizing History & the Veterans Bounty Land Project with Rebecca Whitman Koford at https://tinyurl.com/VGSDec2025
