military burial data The genealogy Web site Ancestry.com on Monday posted burial records online for more than half a million U.S. military personnel for the first time as part of a government bid to digitally preserve the aging paper documents. The burial and headstone applications records, which include entries for Gen. George Custer and President Abraham Lincoln, were previously available only on paper at the National Archives in Washington. They were posted on Ancestry.com through a partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Archives and Records Administration, a senior official at the Utah-based company said. The Army began tracking burials at national cemeteries and military posts in the 1860s. In 1973, data for 82 national cemeteries were turned over to the veterans department, where the records are overseen by the National Cemeteries Administration.
