FamilySearch finds your relatives who were in the War of 1812

FamilySearch continues to add links to people who fall into certain categories. These category links are shown at the top of the person's Detail Page. Here is an example.

The links are the category listings on the right-hand side of the entry. The notifications from FamilySearch make you aware of the entries and provide links to some of your supposed relatives. Check your relationship carefully before assuming that the links are correct. Here is an example of the list from the War of 1812.

These entries serve a good purpose of making people aware of their heritage and also showing that some of their relatives may be found in records outside of the ones most commonly searched, but the connections are often very tenuous and suspect. Here is an example of my connection to the first person listed in the screenshot.

This connection may or may not be realistic. I would have to check each link in the connection and verify that I was actually related to these people. I have not yet checked this line and could not be confident that the connection is correct without a lot of work. But it is interesting and thought provoking.
