Your Ancestors' Stories

We appreciate any information in any format (historic, hard-copy, digital images) which helps to tell the story of the 340,000 men who served the Commonwealth during the Civil War, specifically the hundreds of men who were killed and wounded bearing the colors.

If your family has a story about your Civil War veteran or your ancestor served as a color bearer, we would be happy to include as many of these stories as possible on our website. Please email historian to contribute your ancestors' story.
