Confederate Civil War Records Free in April Fun Feature: Have you noticed that the image on the Fold3 landing page for the Civil War Collection changes from "Civil War" to "War Between the States" when you move your cursor over the 150th-anniversary logo? Give it a try. It's one of the many ways Fold3 recognizes the history of the U.S. Civil War from both perspectives—North and South. This month, in the spirit of paying tribute to those who fought for the South, Fold3 is offering free access to its rich collection of Confederate Civil War records. Although, seven of the eleven former Confederate states observe Confederate History Month in April, Fold3 simply wants to use this as an opportunity to feature content connected to the Southern position. Several of the records and publications from the National Archives' War Department Collection of Confederate Records (RG 109) are digitized and appear on Fold3. These include Confederate Compiled Service Records, both the Union and Confederate citizens files, and Confederate Casualty Reports. All titles from RG 109 available on Fold3 are listed here with links to each title. Additionally, Confederate Amnesty Papers, the Confederate Navy Subject File, the Turner-Baker Papers relating to Civil War Subversion Investigations, and files of the Southern Claims Commission are included as part of the free Confederate content for the month of April. Of unique interest, explore the compiled service records for the "Galvanized Yankees," Confederate prisoners of war who were released by enlisting in the Union Army. Most of the CSA files contain a soldier's declaration of "Volunteer Enlistment" with an oath of allegiance to the USA. Learn more about your southern ancestors and those who fought for the Confederate States of America within the Civil War Collection on Fold3.  Like us Follow us Read our Blog View Videos Forward  Fold3 does not sell, rent or otherwise distribute the personal information you provide us to third party advertisers.
