【世界日報?美聯社華盛頓二十四日電】 2007.05.25 08:26 pm
Ancestry.com網站24日宣布，已經把美國的九千多萬份戰爭紀錄上網，這些戰爭包括英國人1607年定居詹姆斯鎮到1975年結束的越南戰爭。該網站還列出死於戰爭的350萬美軍的姓名，包括兩千名死於伊拉克的美軍。這些紀錄是研究家族歷史的寶貴材料。
Ancestry.com執行長蘇利文（Tim Sullivan）說：「我們的家族歷史與我們國家的歷史交織一起。幾乎每個家庭都有家庭成員或親人參軍為國家服務。」
在6月6日之前，民眾可免費查閱這些紀錄；6月6日以後，網民需要繳年費155.40元，才能自由查閱該網站的美國紀錄數據庫。
這些紀錄來自國家檔案與紀錄管理局，包括3700萬張圖片、兩次世界大戰期間的徵兵登記卡、軍人年鑑、四場戰爭的戰俘紀錄、陸戰隊1893至1958年的花名冊、南北戰爭時期的撫恤金紀錄等。
美國的家譜學研究隨網際網路的發展而穩步增長。An-cestry.com、Genealogy.com、FamilySearch.com等專門搜索網站，以及雅虎（Yahoo）、谷歌（Google）等普通搜索網站，協助激發了民眾對家譜學的興趣。Ancestry.com屬於Generations Network公司。
為了把這些軍事紀錄上網，該網站已耗費三百萬元和一年時間，聘請約1500名筆跡專家花費27萬個小時以審查一些古老紀錄。但這並非美國的全部軍事紀錄。過去四百年中，一些紀錄已經丟失或銷毀，還有些紀錄現在仍屬機密。
