Subject: [GEN-EVENTS-L] Free Civil War genealogy workshop, Clarksville, Tenn., May 25
Date: Tue, 21 May 2002 15:16:05 -0400

Participants will learn how to determine if an ancestor served in the Civil
War and how to locate records for both Confederate and Union veterans.
Participants do not need Tennessee ancestors to participate since the
information will be useful to researchers regardless of their ancestor’s
home state.

Why is the East Tennessee Historical Society bringing free genealogy
programs to Middle Tennessee? The classes are a celebration and introduction
to a new statewide initiative sponsored by ETHS to track down descendants of
Civil War soldiers who lived, fought, or died in the Volunteer State. The
new heritage program, “Civil War Families of Tennessee,” celebrates the
unique role of individuals in Tennessee’s Civil War story.

The workshop is co-sponsored locally by the Clarksville-Montgomery County
Public Library. For additional information about the free workshop contact
the CMCPL at 931-648-8826 or contact ETHS at 865-215-8824.

The East Tennessee Historical Society, founded in 1834, is one of the oldest
cultural institutions in the state of Tennessee. ETHS, a non-profit
organization headquartered in Knoxville, is dedicated to preserving,
interpreting, and promoting the history of the region. The society’s
activities and exhibits are made possible through the support of its
membership. For additional information about the genealogy workshops,
membership, or other ETHS programs, call 865-215-8824, or visit the
historical society’s web site at www.east-tennessee-history.org
