This system offers powerful tools (e.g., phonetic searches, wildcards, etc.) that are not otherwise available to search the same database that is used by the "Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System (CWSS)." It also searches some databases that are not available in that system, including Civil War burials and Court Martial records. Once the soldier/sailor is found, it will provide online links and other advice about where you can find his records.

Finding the correct source for information about your ancestor can require time-consuming research. Once you’ve found a record, book, person, website, artifact, or any source, make sure you document where you found it. You may need to return to that same record at some point and finding it a second time may be just as difficult as it was the first time. It can be frustrating to determine exactly what information needs to be included for a specific citation and what order the elements of the citation should follow. The St. Louis Genealogical Society created this web page to assist with citing St. Louis and Missouri sources. If you don’t have St. Louis ancestors, these citations can serve as a model for any community. Just substitute your particular location utilizing the same format.
