About The Civil War Days
An authoritative digital registry unifying regimental lineage records, tactical GPS monument coordinates, and alternate research repositories for genealogical researchers.
Our Archival Mission
Between 1861 and 1865, over 3 million Americans enlisted in volunteer and regular military units. Tracing an individual soldier's lineage is frequently complicated by destroyed county courthouses, fragmented state archives, and ambiguous unit designations.
The Civil War Days bridges this gap by cross-referencing federal National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) microfilm locators with local county historical society holdings, providing clear, actionable research pathways for descendants and historians.
Verification & Research Methodology
We are committed to providing accurate, verifiable genealogical data using a primary-source focused research pipeline. We utilize authoritative government archives like the National Archives (NARA) and the National Park Service (NPS) CWSS.
