We at American Civil War Ancestor would like to welcome everyone back to our NEW website, you will note some changes, the first and largest is our URL has changed to www.acwresearchgroup.org. This was done because of our change in host companies, we went from Webs.com (who closed their hosting service) and moved to Wix.com. Rest assured we are the same group of researchers with the same goals. Next you will see that there has been some reductions in our rates, yes reductions. Please see our Rates & Services page.
​
We are very pleased to announce that the National Archives is again open for business. While NARA is still working on an appointment basis, they have eased how far in advance appointments can be requested. Please join us in welcoming the staff of NARA back and wishing them well and continued health.
​
We are a historical research group formed to assist Students, Educators, Historians, Genealogists and Authors in doing research and obtaining digitized records from the National Archives and Records Administration locations, Presidential Libraries, the Library of Congress and other record repositories at the national, state and local levels.
We offer a superior product and personalized customer service that is less expensive and more expedient than the National Archives and Records Administration's online record ordering system.
We include Dropbox service free of charge with all orders!
​
We travel to Washington D.C. once a month to research for our clients and we would be happy to include your research projects as well. (please see our Rates & Services page for details)
If you are interested in finding out if a relative was a veteran of the American Civil War we will work with you to find if there is a connection between a veteran and your family. We can also guide you into membership of an appropriate lineage group. (please see our Contact Us page for details and to ask questions)
Look through our website and let us know how we can help you!
All the profits of American Civil War Ancestor are donated to support our Unknown Soldier Project, to restore vandalized & abandoned cemeteries, for the research provided on this website for free use of all who are interested in learning the truth of the War of the Rebellion and to other websites that we host for other groups, at no cost to them, with a like interest.
We are pleased to let you know that American Civil War Ancestor has been approved as an official Certifying Organization for The President's Volunteer Service Award.
The ability to bestow Presidential recognition to our volunteers is a tremendous honor and one we won't take lightly. Recognizing the great work of our volunteers can deliver a powerful message that encourages others to take action. If you wish to start a project in your area and would like us to consider funding it and recording your volunteer hours, please contact us.
