The purpose of the site was to give researchers a little help with their illustrious Veteran ancestors who served for both causes during the American Civil War (1861-1865). The original intent of this site was to cater to the local Units from the Virginia/West Virginia region that served during this time. You might wonder why Kentucky and Ohio are included, but a look at the local geography should explain why some of the West Virginia sons joined ranks in neighboring States. All/any histories, rosters, links, etc., that are related to West Virginians who served in the Civil War are welcome for submittal for this webpage.
