The upcoming 150th anniversary of the American Civil War is being commemorated this month and Americans everywhere will have the opportunity to reflect on this period in our nation's history.
If you are interested in the Civil War, there are many "roundtables" where you can find a world of information and volunteers who will attempt to answer questions you may have, including where you can find a regimental or company history, battle histories, articles, books, and active links to other websites of Civil War interest.
There is a Civil War conference at the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh, North Carolina on May 20, 2011. The title of this conference is Contested Past: Memories and Legacies of the Civil War. A Conference to Commemorate the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War in North Carolina. I have ancestors who lived in Old Buncombe County, North Carolina, and since, I will be in Raleigh researching at the North Carolina Archives, I decided to attend this conference. For more information regarding this conference go to http://www.nccivilwar150.com/
Each state has Civil War websites where you can browse Civil War history, and locate information on your Civil War ancestors.You might be surprised at what information you can find on-line regarding your civil war soldier.
Good luck on hunting your Civil War ancestor!
Until next time..................gendara
