Whether you're researching a specific soldier in your family tree or want detailed information on the American Civil War that you can't get from any other source, you've come to the right place!

The Compiled Service Records are transcriptions of the original muster rolls and returns created during the Civil War. They contain some of the most detailed information available about individual Civil War soldiers and show enlistment dates and ranks, woundings, captures, imprisonments, hospitalizations, and more. Often, they also include original Civil War documents such as pay vouchers, requisitions, discharge certificates, and paroles. Though traditionally they've only been available on microfilm, Civil War Microfilm now gives you online access to the CSRs. This is a MUST if you're researching a specific soldier or working on a genealogy project about a Civil War ancestor!
