Civil War Records, operated by Brian Rinehart, is a professional record retrieval service specializing in military and related records held by the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Researchers can request scanned copies of Union Civil War pension files, compiled military service records, carded medical records, federal land records, and selected records from other U.S. conflicts. The website also provides guidance for identifying the correct records and indexes before placing an order.

Nebraska Civil War Veterans Database is a searchable index of Civil War veterans with connections to Nebraska. Researchers can search by last name, first name, military unit, Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) post number, GAR post city, or GAR post county to locate entries in the Civil War Veterans Indexes. Search results provide basic index information that can be used to identify veterans and locate additional records.
