When Beate #Hammes discovered during her #genealogical research that one of her family members had fought under #Napoleon in the Iberian War (1807 to 1814), this discovery confirmed to her that it is worthwhile to look at what her #ancestors did. It was her great-great-great grandfather's brother who went to war under Napoleon. While researching, she came across a missing person report. There is no death certificate, but it is documented that the young man did not return.
