ONLINE Researching at Appomattox Court House:

Genealogy Through the Lens of the Civil War

Before, during, and after the Civil War, a wealth of different types of unusual records were produced that speak of that time and tell the story of a whole generation. Access sent to registrants.

Dr. Daniel Hubbard has been seriously researching his family history since he was 11 years old. He is a former particle physicist who lived in France, Switzerland and Sweden for 20 years before returning to Libertyville with his family. A full-time professional genealogist, book designer and writer, he is the owner of Personal Past (www.thePersonalPast.com) with research concentrating on North American and Northern European records. He is past president of the Lake County Illinois Genealogical Society and a member of the Swedish-American Genealogy Society Advisory Board at the Swedish-American Museum in Chicago.
