Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) – 10

The previous posts about the Grand Army of the Republic were intended to give you a  starting place to get you acquainted with the GAR and to begin looking for your Union Soldier and Sailor ancestors in these records.

One area that was not covered was newspapers. When you are searching for information about your ancestors in newspapers, remember to also look for announcements about the GAR and its members.

Remember to look at the listings of records compiled by the SUVCW, but do not stop there!
