Free access to American military records on MyHeritage

If you have Americans in your family, this may be of interest from MyHeritage (www.myheritage.com):

This Memorial Day, MyHeritage is opening free access to all 213 million U.S. military historical records from May 22–26, 2026. As the United States celebrates its 250th year, it’s a meaningful time to explore the stories, service, and sacrifices of the ancestors who helped shape the nation across generations of military history.

The free access includes 286 collections spanning early American conflicts through modern wars, including major additions from the past year such as World War II enlistment and draft registration records and navy muster rolls.

Access the records via https://www.myheritage.com/research/records-catalog/usa/military/catid-3000
