Women and the War of 1812

Genealogist Julia Anderson will share stories, resources and records relating to the women who contributed to the War of 1812, an under-researched American war effort.

The War of 1812 is often referred to as America's second revolution, and women participated in it through both everyday and extraordinary means. This participation occasionally flew in the face of traditional gender boundaries, and they ultimately received little acknowledgement in the aftermath of the war. Genealogist Julia Anderson will share narratives, resources and records relating to the women who contributed to this under-researched American war effort.

This program is part of our "Freedom For All" genealogy series, highlighting records, resources and untold stories for the America 250 commemoration.

This program is a Zoom webinar. A link to the webinar and a handout will be sent one day before the event. A reminder email will be sent an hour before the event.
