"I Have a Civil War Ancestor: Now What?"
Presented by Brian Rhinehart
 
Do you have ancestors who fought in the Union Army during the Civil War? Were they in any of the other wars from the 1800s? Military records can be among the most genealogically significant sources you can find. There is a good chance that their military records are at the National Archives in Washington, DC.
