Saturday, August 23 “Gone to Soldiers”: Researching Your Civil War Ancestor
Dee Grimsrud, Archivist and genealogist at the Wisconsin Historical Society, will provide insights and information on Civil War resources and repositories. She will focus on resources at WHS and researching soldiers with a Wisconsin connection, either those who served in a Wisconsin regiment or those who served for another state and later lived in Wisconsin. But she will also give hints for tracking CW soldiers in other states and describe basic records in the National Archives collections. Both online and “off-line” resources will be covered, with handouts provided.
