We often focus on the military service and pension records created due to the Civil War. We’ll take a quick peak at these and then dive into the records most don’t explore. If you don’t look further, you are missing out on some gems like old soldier home, voter registration, Freedmen’s Bureau, Freedman’s Bank, and artificial limb records, plus detailed maps, claims for compensation, legislative petitions, relief for indigent spouses, newspapers, and more! As an event that affected every citizen, there are many records we can mine as we pursue our ancestors.
