A brief introduction to the basic steps to finding Civil War Veterans in your tree and the regiments they served in so you can get the most out of Civil War Stories

We start by finding direct ancestors in your tree born between 1811 and 1848. And then you can tag them to easily find them later.

To select the correct Civil War records, you should know basic facts about your ancestor. You can then match these facts with the records to make sure you have the right ones.
