Description
Civil War Soldiers System Name Indexing Project, Maryland. Collection includes copies of the general index cards found in the National Archives, indicating name, rank, unit, etc. of each soldier that served in the Union and Confederate Armies during the Civil War.
History
Over 100 members of Maryland's genealogical community and the general public assisted with the input of the records represented in this collection into a database that will eventually be available at national Civil War sites, including Antietam National Cemetery, Antietam National Battlefield, and the Monocacy National Battlefield. Although the focus of these material is primarily Maryland soldiers, some members began work on Virginia soldiers and as a result some Virginia records are included.
