Civil War Union Noncombatant Personnel Teamsters Laundresses Nurses Sutlers More 2021 June 8

Genealogy Series, 5 of 6: Genealogy Series: Civil War Union Noncombatant Personnel: Teamsters, Laundresses, Nurses, Sutlers, and More with Claire Kluskens
The National Archives Building in Washington, DC contains many records about noncombatant civilians connected with the Union Army during the American Civil War. However, the records are underutilized because there is no comprehensive index, no “one” place to look, and require time-consuming research into obscure records. Digitization is slowly changing that, however! This lecture will provide suggestions for research with emphasis on online materials that can help you get started.
