Records also include documentation on U.S. wars, beginning with the Revolutionary War, and military cemetery records.
Genealogists and family archivists looking for information on military veterans will find veteran pension records helpful in this area. These records offer information on the years served in the military, as well as the date of discharge and reason for discharge. With many sources available in one location at www.recordsbase.com, finding records like these is easier than ever before.
"Our goal at Records Base is to make genealogy research as fast and easy as possible," Ashley Evans, PR manager for the company, stated. "With our new military records collection, a whole new kind of information can be retrieved for conducting historic research or tracing a family tree. We are excited to see how our members can use these records to add a new dimension their genealogy projects."
Military records are typically a challenge to research and retrieve, since records may be scattered through a variety of government offices and archives.

Documents may be retrieved online as well. If the government office holding the records must be contacted directly, RecordsBase provides the information necessary to make retrieval of specific documents fast and accurate.

Tiny octopus-like microorganisms named after science fiction monsters: UBC research
2013-04-03
University of British Columbia researchers have discovered two new symbionts living in the gut of termites, and taken the unusual step of naming them after fictional monsters created by American horror author HP Lovecraft.
The single-cell protists, Cthulhu macrofasciculumque and Cthylla microfasciculumque, help termites digest wood. The researchers decided to name them after monstrous cosmic entities featured in Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos as an ode to the sometimes strange and fascinating world of the microbe.
"When we first saw them under the microscope they had this ...
Autism linked to increased genetic change in regions of genome instability
2013-04-03
Children with autism have increased levels of genetic change in regions of the genome prone to DNA rearrangements, so called "hotspots," according to a research discovery to be published in the print edition of the journal Human Molecular Genetics. The research indicates that these genetic changes come in the form of an excess of duplicated DNA segments in hotspot regions and may affect the chances that a child will develop autism -- a behavioral disorder that affects about 1 of every 88 children in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Breeding birds vulnerable to climate change in Arctic Alaska
2013-04-03
A new report from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) looked at the vulnerability of 54 breeding bird species to climate change impacts occurring by the year 2050 in Arctic Alaska. The assessment found that two species, the gyrfalcon and common eider are likely to be "highly" vulnerable, while seven other species would be "moderately" vulnerable to anticipated impacts. Five species are likely to increase in number and benefit from a warming climate.
Arctic Alaska harbors some of the most important breeding and staging grounds for millions of birds—many from around ...
High blood pressure in pregnancy may spell hot flashes later
2013-04-03
CLEVELAND, Ohio (April 3, 2013)—Women who have hypertensive diseases during pregnancy seem to be at higher risk of having troublesome hot flashes and night sweats at menopause, report researchers from the Netherlands in an article published online today in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society. This is the first study to look at this association.
The investigators examined the relationship between hypertensive diseases in pregnancy, such as preeclampsia, and vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes and night sweats) among 853 women who visited a cardiology ...
Ophthalmologists urge early diagnosis and treatment of age-related macular degeneration
2013-04-03
SAN FRANCISCO – April 3, 2013 – Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) continues to be the leading cause of visual impairment in the United States for people over age 65, according to a study recently published online in Ophthalmology, the journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. AMD is a potentially blinding disease that affects more than 9.1 million Americans. This study, which tracked vision loss in relation to eye disease and treatment response in nearly 5,000 patients over a 20-year period, showed that despite the recent discovery of sight-saving drugs and ...
Chinese foreign fisheries catch 12 times more than reported: UBC research
2013-04-03
Chinese fishing boats catch about US$11.5 billion worth of fish from beyond their country's own waters each year – and most of it goes unreported, according to a new study led by fisheries scientists at the University of British Columbia.
The paper, recently published in the journal Fish and Fisheries, estimates that China's foreign catch is 12 times larger than the catch it reports to the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization, an international agency that keeps track of global fisheries catches.
Using a new method that analyzes the type of fishing vessels ...
Quantum cryptography: On wings of light
2013-04-03
Physicists from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have, for the first time, successfully transmitted a secure quantum code through the atmosphere from an aircraft to a ground station.
Can worldwide communication ever be fully secure? Quantum physicists believe they can provide secret keys using quantum cryptography via satellite. Unlike communication based on classical bits, quantum cryptography employs the quantum states of single light quanta (photons) for the exchange of data. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle limits the precision with which the position ...
Light tsunami in a superconductor
2013-04-03
In their latest experiment, Prof. Andrea Cavalleri from the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter at the Hamburg-based Center for Free-Electron Laser Science (CFEL) and Dr. Michael Gensch from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) investigated together with other colleagues from the HZDR, the United Kingdom, and Japan if and how superconductivity can be systematically controlled. The objective of their research is to improve the usability of superconducting materials for such new technologies as, for example, the processing of information. ...
