and where do you find these records?
At 10:00 am Thursday, the 16th, Terry Erickson will share the best ways to locate these valuable family records. Using data from resources such as enlistment papers, muster rolls, medical, pension, battle histories, letters, newspapers, etc. can often render significantly more information than just the name, age, rank, etc. of the soldier. The unsuspected treasure in these records is the often found details of the soldier's family member's including parents, siblings, spouse and children's names, ages, health records, home locations, lands, pensions awarded, financial status, medical events, and more.
Many families living in the eastern half of the United States during the Civil War era had one or more family member involved in this historical war. Their military records may reveal priceless information, but it is helpful to know how to locate and use the records.
