Useful links
Here are some useful links for people interested in the Civil War and genealogical research in that field. Note: It is useful to invest in a membership with Ancestry or some other genealogical data accumulation site, even if for a short period of time. This site is open to suggestions for new links, and is responsive to suggestions to fix broken links.
