About

I’ve been researching my family history off and on for more than 20 years but it was a trip to Gettysburg that sparked my interest in Civil War research. With my recent move to Virginia I look forward to visiting even more Civil War battlefields throughout the area.

Previously I’ve written columns for Going In-Depth the monthly digital magazine for The In-Depth Genealogist and the 4th Ohio Volunteer Calvary Descendants Association’s newsletter – First Call.

All of this led to writing my book Ancestors In A Nation Divided, a guide to researching Civil War veterans in your family. If interested in my book please contact Cindy at cindyfreedwriter@gmail.com.

Lastly it’s here I’ll share my current research, family history, and Civil War finds.
