Do you have a Civil War Union ancestor? If so, you might be interested in this contest.

It’s here, our annual New Year Giveaway, and it’s one of our biggest of the year!

One lucky winner will receive a complete set of Civil War records for their Union Army soldier: pension file, service records, and carded medical records, everything needed to uncover the full story behind their service.

Entries close January 8 at 7:00 PM ET. We’ll draw the winner live on Facebook that night. Use the link to enter, then share with your friends so they don’t miss it either!
