I have a Civil War Ancestor...Now What? by Brian Rhinehart

Civil War soldiers often left a rich genealogical paper trail.  Many of these records are tucked away at the National Archives in Washington D.C.  Our speaker, Brian Rhinehart, will present what records are available for your ancestors only at the National Archives, what records are online already, and how to access all of them.

Social time will begin at 1 p.m. with refreshments.  The in-person meeting will begin promptly at 1:30 p.m. and will also be broadcast via Zoom.  Contact Publicity@MCC-OGS.org for a link to the Zoom meeting.
