Editorial Reviews

Product Description

It has been more than 40 years since the last comprehensive guide to tracing and researching Civil War ancestors was published. The Civil War Research Guide goes beyond, but does not exclude, such major national sources such as the National Archives in Washington, and features information on little-known publications, websites, auctions, memorabilia dealers, and patriotic organizations. The authors lay out a systematic procedure for performing research and recording the results in order to build a proper file on a Civil War soldier, making the experience both educational and entertaining. Contains contact information for hundreds of sources and techniques including the Internet.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide to help research your Civil War ancestor, April 25, 2003
By Donald Thompson (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a common sense and practical way to learn the ins and outs of finding out information on an ancestor who may have served in the Civil War. It's well written and informative, providing a step-by-step approach to gathering that information. People are always interested in finding out what their ancestor may have done in the war. This guide gives you the advice on how to gather that information, but also ways to expand your knowledge base, by pursuing information on their regiment, division, or corps. A great little book!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Civil War Research Guide, March 30, 2009
Good guide for research of a civil war person in your family. Has topics and special interest things that a person can look up and check out. A good place to start if you are not completely sure of your research for your family member during this time period. Also if you are simply interested in that time period it is a good read for you. You may find all sorts of things that you may have overlooked.
