FootNote
The new kid on the block, FootNote is known for digitizing historical
documents... many of which are genealogical gems. With naturalizations,
city directories, war records, newspapers, town records, etc... this new
kid is quickly being recognized as an alternative to Ancestry.
In cooperation with Footnote, AccessGenealogy is providing exclusively to our
users from 17 Nov - 1 Dec. 2008, FREE access to a large set
(almost 20 million) of images based on the topic Civil War. This is a
LIMITED time opportunity, and available ONLY through
the links on THIS page. No other links on our site, or any
other site on the web, will provide you with this opportunity! Your delay is
your lost!
Footnote has been gracious to try this
with us and see the effect of introducing
users to their website and the quality of
their data they have, by providing limited
free access. We've chosen a rather large set
of data around the subject of the Civil War
for our users to access. We chose this data
due to the broad reach in researchers and
the depth of information Footnote has on the
subject matter.
The majority of the Civil War data we
requested dealt with Compiled Service
Records for Union and Confederate soldiers.
Chances are, if you've been able to prove
your ancestry back to the 1860's in the US
then you likely had somebody serve in the
Civil War. Over 2.8 million men served in
the Civil War!
For those not familiar with Footnote, you
will not be accessing simple databases. The
information you will access at Footnote is
digitized images of the actual documents. If
you're unfamiliar with Footnote you may want
to view the
Footnote Guide that has been developed
online to assist researchers with using
Footnote's incredible tools.
