Worthwhile for those whose Ancestors were Veterans for this very influential event. Should someone on the list be able to attend: please take notes for all of us!!! Kristina/Kristie Aldrup SATX BRIGHAM-List Administrator Date: Tue, 21 May 2002 From: "East Tennessee Historical Society" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [ACWBLUE] Free Civil War Genealogy Workshop, May 25, Clarksville, Tennessee Whether your ancestors wore blue or gray in the American Civil War, the East Tennessee Historical Society is offering a free workshop to help find your family’s Civil War story. The free class will be held 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 25, 2002, at the Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library in Clarksville. The instructor, Dr. George K. Schweitzer, is a popular, nationally-known lecturer and author of nineteen genealogy research books. Participants will learn how to determine if an ancestor served in the Civil War and how to locate records for both Confederate and Union veterans. Participants do not need Tennessee ancestors to participate since the information will be useful to researchers regardless of their ancestor’s home state. Why is the East Tennessee Historical Society bringing free genealogy programs to Middle Tennessee? The classes are a celebration and introduction to a new statewide initiative sponsored by ETHS to track down descendants of Civil War soldiers who lived, fought, or died in the Volunteer State. The new heritage program, “Civil War Families of Tennessee,” celebrates the unique role of individuals in Tennessee’s Civil War story. The workshop is co-sponsored locally by the Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library. For additional information about the free workshop contact the CMCPL at 931-648-8826 or contact ETHS at 865-215-8824.
