Subject: Free Access to Civil War databases extended
Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2005 17:35:07 -0400


So many people were just learning about the FREE access to Ancestry.com
Civil War databases that Ancestry has decided to keep the databases open
for an additional weekend - free and open though June 12.

So, if you haven't yet checked for your surnames among the 3.5 million
military records, you can so for a few more days.

Here's the link:
Ancestry Civil War Free Access

Even if you don't know if you had a Civil War ancestor, you can use this
opportunity to find out. If you find a Civil War relative, it opens the
door to find huge amounts of genealogy info from the National Archives.
Learn what you may find and how to order records at
http://www.pacivilwar.com/orderfromnara.html

The FREE Civil War databases are
**1890 Census Veterans Schedule
**Civil War Pension Index
**Disabled Soldiers Home

The 1890 Census Veterans Schedule is often used as an 1890 census
substitute (since the original 1890 census was damaged in a fire), and
all three databases cover about this same time period.

The access is free and open. A free trial is not required.

Enjoy,
Kathi
