On this episode of The Civil War Regiments Podcast, I'm joined by Tom Travis and Aric Bruggeworth to discuss Genealogy and Ancestry. Tom and Aric share many stories of their ancestors in the war, the regiments they served in, as well as full circle moments doing living history events on the same ground they fought. We also discuss many tips, do's and don'ts on genealogy research. I hope this episode may help or be of inspiration in your own family history journey!
