RELATIONALLY SPEAKING } “. . . so all Kentuckians may discover their roots in time and place.” –Dr. Thomas D. Clark April 2011 marks the beginning of the 150 th anniversary of the Civil War. The next five years is a great time to learn who your Kentucky Civil War ancestors were and what they experienced from 1861 to 1865. Begin your own family-history search for that period by identifying those ancestors and by seeking out as much detailed information as possible about their age, their location, and the makeup of their family from U.S. censuses of 1850, 1860, and 1870. Family histories, diaries, letters, and local community histories and newspapers may also be very helpful in your Civil War search. Get your ancestor’s Civil War service or pension records and discover what has been documented in them about where your ancestors were during the war and the major events that occurred in those areas. Two articles published in Kentucky Ancestors in 2008 may be helpful in discovering your ancestors and will provide numerous references that will be helpful in fleshing out the details of their wartime experience. 1 Your ancestor may have been in the Union or Confederate army, the Kentucky Home Guard, or one of the many U.S. Colored Troop (USCT) units raised in Kentucky during 1864-65. The story of every Kentucky ancestor during that critical period in our national and state history is interesting and worth digging out. The Kentucky Historical Society is the administrator for the Kentucky Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission. Information about upcoming speakers and commemorative events at the Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) and other Civil War and historical sites around the state during the sesquicentennial years will be publicized on the KHS website (www.history.ky.gov).
