Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park preserves the site of the first battle of the U.S.-Mexican War. To help visitors research their ancestry and to honor the War veterans, Palo Alto is creating an free online soldier database.

We are looking for volunteers to enter information for Hempstead U.S.-Mexican War veterans. All you need is a computer! We will send you the data and credit you for your contribution.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email Karen_Weaver@nps.gov or call (956) 541-2785, x. 332.

Thank you,
