+See [[Nevada in the Civil War|Nevada in the Civil War]] for information about Nevada Civil War records, web sites, etc. with links to articles about the Nevada regiments involved in the Civil War.
-An index to service records of Union army volunteers is on Family History Library {{FHL|316897|title-id|disp=film 821939}}. The library also has the index to the pension applications. The service and pension records are available at the National Archives.
+The regimental pages often include lists of the companies with links to the counties where the companies started. Men in the companies often lived in the counties where the companies were raised. Knowing a county can help when researching more about the soldiers and their families.
-A special census was taken in 1890 of Union veterans of the Civil War and their widows (Family History Library {{FHL|230777|title-id|disp=film 338198}}; index in {{FHL|263435|title-id|disp=book 979.3 X22jv 1890}}).
+The [http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System] allows name searching for soldiers. The result set gives the regiments for the soldiers. Then you can check the Wiki regiment pages to determine counties. Often knowing the counties that had men in a regiment will help you determine if a soldier was your ancestor. <br><br>
-'''Civil War Pension Index Cards''' - A free Internet index to pension applications of veterans who served in the US Army between 1861-1917 is available on [http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails;t=searchable;c=1471019 FamilySearch Record Search]. Each card gives the soldier’s name, application and certificate numbers, state of enlistment, and might include rank and death information. Other wars, of that time period, may be included.
