North Hills Genealogists host Jan. 16 presentation about Civil War ancestors

North Hills Genealogists will host an online presentation on Jan. 16 at 7 p.m. by Brian Rhinehart entitled, “I Have a Civil War Ancestor… Now What?”

The event is free and open to the public.

Civil War soldiers often left a rich genealogical paper trail. Many records are tucked away at the National Archives in Washington D.C. Learn what records are available only at the National Archives, what records are online already and how to access all of them.

Brian Rhinehart is a professional genealogist and speaker and is the owner of CivilWarRecords.com. He is a graduate of Boston University’s Certificate of Genealogy Research and the Genealogical Institute on Federal Records (GenFed) in Washington D.C. A direct descendent of six Civil War soldiers, Brian specializes in research and record retrieval for Civil War and War of 1812 soldiers at the National Archives.
