JOIN AGS NOW and enjoy the benefits of several programs, which will be free to members in 2023.
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.
