Civil War

      Updated February 2011

Our Civil War Ancestors program includes Civil War ancestors who were connected with Eaton County, Michigan.  They could have been born, resided, enlisted, died or buried in Eaton County, regardless of the unit or state they served.  If desired, this includes an Eaton County Genealogical Society Civil War Ancestor Certificate ($4.00, suitable for framing).  See more information on the certificate below.

We invite you to share your Eaton County Civil War Ancestors with us!  Your information will be indexed and included in our database for others to use for their research.
There are multiple ways to do this.
