All, Footnote.com is allowing free access to Civil War records through Dec. 1 through Access Genealogy. You MUST access the databases via this link: http://www.accessgenealogy.com:80/civil_war.htm There is a TON of information here... including the Compiled Military Service Records (CMSR's) of virtually all the Confederate soldiers and a few states of Union soldiers and much more!
