Re: Sinclair's at war

["Wanda Sinclair" <wanda.sinclair@3web.net>]

Willl it include Sinclair who were not in military campaigns but in the
service?

Will it include Sinclair from every century, where there were records?

I myself have started pulling SINCLAIR out of the military records, for
example:

I have found about at least 20 cards (all on microfilm, the reference escape
me at the moment)  on John Sutherland Sinclair (Malcolm's great-great
grandfather who was first married to Mary Gamble in Sandwich {now called
Windsor, Ontario}), the following is what one of the cards say:

SINCLAIR, John Sutherland, Lieut. R.A. {Royal Artillary}
Survey held at H.M.'s dockyard at Amherstburg {Upper Canada} on Bateatux,
July 3, 1800 by order of Capt. McLean, 2nd Batt. R.C.V.?
C.107, Page 81


I also have the LDS (Mormon) finding aid to their Military Records on
Microfilm.

I have order the microfilm for the 31st Regiment of Foot to see if I could
find any SINCLAIR in that regiment.  The microfilm are in order by regiment
than by surname.

I have also found the following info, the microfilm before this one was on
backorder, so I am not able to finished transcribing:

CERTIFICATES OF BIRTH, BAPTISMS & MARRIAGES, & DEATH, WITH WILLS
ADMINISTRATIONS, STATEMENTS OF SERVICE & PERSONAL PAPERS OF OFFICERS & THEIR
FAMILIES

These records had copies of baptisms & marriage records.
