How can you find a relative who was in the Civil War who is now dead?
5. Search the internet. Some people will post info on the internet. A distant relative may have your family’s entire genealogy records and military records on the internet. I was recently contacted by a genealogist who had published a book on my Family but didn’t know how his ancestor was killed in the Civil War. He found his ancestor’s info on a webpage that I had posted on my site.
