Your Civil War Ancestor Do you have an ancestor who fought in the Civil War? Chances are that you do since this war had over three million combatants. Perhaps you know which side great-grandpa fought for in the war. But merely claiming an ancestor is unsatisfactory - we want to know these people like we know our living family. What We Do Our purpose is to know, understand, and celebrate the events that relate to our families.  While delving into the past may produce some less-than-savory ancestors, or put an end to a family legend, a sense of humor and a desire for truth will enable us to celebrate our families as they really were and are. Your Family History Which do you want to read - a list of names and dates, or a story filled with action and adventure? Chances are you prefer the story.  We think that the excitement, the danger, the courage, and the romance of the lives of our ancestors make some of the best reading.
