How can I find out more about my Revolutionary War ancestor?

American Genealogical-Biographical Index

An often overlooked source for information on Revolutionary War participants is "The American Genealogical—Biographical Index to American Genealogical, Biographical and Local History Materials." You can find it at some libraries, or search it at Ancestry.com. Many Revolutionary War titles are indexed in this huge source - including a Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolution, Soldiers, Sailors, 1775-1783; Rolls and Lists of Connecticut Men in the Revolution, 1775-1783; Muster and Payrolls of the Revolutionary War, 1775-1783; and 600 Revolutionary Soldiers Living in Georgia in 1827-8.
