To the list.... Actually doing look ups on the site is easy...... Do as one of the Iowa Members said; looking for a specific Item, just do a quick check for the type of date base information you need. Or use the more advanced Information; I have things I never could believe I would fine on my family. As to the Civil War one, Illinois is one of the best to do any look ups for Civil War Information, if you're Family Member served out of that state. Keep on Hunting.... And passing on information to all of us. Patty in Iowa
