Events › "Was My William Smith in the Civil War?" (Virtual Program)

Over ten percent of the US population fought in the Civil War in the 1860s. Using (mostly) free resources, Brian Rhinehart will provide tips on how to determine if your ancestor was involved in the war, and how to differentiate among those commonly named soldiers.
