Civil War Research

<http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/>; CIVIL WAR SOLIDERS AND SAILORS
SYSTEM provides list of those who served in the Civil War,
Regiments, Cemeteries, Battles, & more.

I had some information for my Civil War relatives before this site
came on line, making my research on the site less complicated.
However, this evening I checked the link, using only a surname and
found a very long list of individuals with the surname i chose. I
used the same surname for those who served in the Union Army, and
then the Conferdate Army.
