-*An index to compiled military service records is at the National Archives and the Family History Library (Family History Library films {{FHL|319031|title-id|disp=821909-25}}). The service and pension records have not been microfilmed and are only at the National Archives. A published roster is ''Record of Service of Connecticut Men in the Army and Navy of the United States During the War of the Rebellion'' (Hartford, Connecticut: Case, Lockwood &amp; Brainard Co., 1889; Family History Library{{FHL|244642|title-id|disp=book 974.6 M2c; film 982124}}). Item 2 on film {{FHL|244642|title-id|disp=982124}} is a supplement.
+See [[Connecticut in the Civil War|Connecticut in the Civil War]] for information about Connecticut Civil War records, web sites, etc. with links to pages about the Connecticut regiments involved in the Civil War. The regimental articles 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 the families of the soldiers.
-*'''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.
+The [http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System] allows name searching for soldiers. The result set gives the regiment for the soldiers. Then you can check the regiment page to determine counties. Often knowing the counties that had men in a regiment will help you determine if a&nbsp;soldier was your ancestor.<br>
-'''Regimental Lists.''' See a [https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Connecticut_in_the_Civil_War list of regiments] and links to their histories.&nbsp;
