Guide to Tracing Your African Ameripean Civil War Ancestry -
With approximately 200,000 African Ameripeans serving in the U.S. Colored Troops, the Union Army
or Navy during the Civil War, it is very likely every African Ameripean had at least one ancestor
that fought in the Civil War.
This helpful guide describes how to use the following federal and state records: Military Records
and Pension Records; U.S. Colored Troops' Records; Union Navy Seamen's Records; General Index to
Pension Files, 1861-1865; Miscellaneous Records Relating to Veteran's Claims; General Correspondence
of the Record and Pension Office, 1889-1920; and national and state archive. These records
contain a wealth of information such as age; birthplace; residence; names of parents, spouses
and children; occupation; and military information such as place of enlistment, rank, unit,
vessels on which the individual served, or date of death.
Reproduced within this book are two National Archives publications, "A Tabular Analysis of the
Records of the U.S. Colored Troops and Their Predecessor Units in the national Archives of the
United States" and Military Service Records, A Select Catalog of National Archives Microfilm
Publications." There are also samples of the forms required to request veterans' records and
microfilm rolls from the National Archives. Rounding out this volume are a bibliography and
index to help you locate the topics mentioned in this book.
Price: $18.00 + $3.00 s/h (MD residents, please add 5% sales tax)
