The Texas Heritage Museum Hill College

I learned about the center years ago when it was called

the Confederate Research Center.  The director spoke

at a meeting of the Southwest Genealogical Society.

The Historical Research Center Division of The

Texas Heritage Museum houses one of the best 

Civil War collections repositories in the nation.

Do you have ancestors that served in the Civil War?

Whether your ancestor was Confederate or Union,

you might find some information on your ancestor(s)

in the Texas Heritage Museum's Historical Research Center.

Historical Research Center Division

There's also a downloadable (PDF)

Civil War Veteran Research request form

at the bottom of the page.

I've had excellent results with finding some of 

my ancestors' Civil War papers, including

prisoner of war papers.

I hope you can, too! 

Happy Hunting,
