Looking for CSA Records but can't find them yourself? I used The Confederate War Department and while it isn't a free service, they found what I could not.

On this day in 1861, Texas voted to secede from the Union.

If you have the links to your state's archives, such as I have posted for Texas above, please post them and I will try to get it up in that section ASAP.

Dawna, years ago, I got a copy of records of one of my gt-grdfather's Civil War records from the State of Texas. Was I ever thrilled! It contained an interview of my gt-grdmother telling where they had lived, how they fleed from Jacksonport, Arkansas, to Texas, because of the nearness of the Union Army.
You do know that the Confederate records are housed in the individual states of the Confederacy, don't you?
