Monumental Recording Process

The monumental task of data entry, editing, and converting millions of soldier records into a database format required a tremendous amount of time and effort. This could only have been accomplished through the help of our partners, who volunteered their time.

Thank you: Genealogical Society of Utah (GSU), Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS), Utah Army Corps, Howard University, The United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) & all other partners for your efforts in this historic project.
