Civil War Research:
Learning About Your Union Veteran Ancestor It is easier than ever to get the records of a Civil War ancestor. Basic steps on how to recognize that a person fought in the War Between the States as well as the processes that can be used to determine his regiment and company will be explored. Also provided: how to access the sources that have the records in the collections or databases. What researchers can expect to find on the records will be discussed, along with tips on less obvious things to search for in the documents received. These are illustrated by actual copies of Civil War military and pension records.
Please note that this lecture focuses on Union records. It will not cover Confederate research. When:
