Civil War Families of Marion County

               Civil War Families of Marion County Society Starts Now   

  

            In honor of the many Marion County residents who served in the Union army and navy during the Civil War, the Genealogical Society of Marion County, officially establishes the

Civil War Families of Marion County 

 July 4, 2022.

            The CWFMC is designed to both honor the Union veteran and their families, but also  to offer a research challenge to GSMC genealogists.
            To qualify for the Civil War Families Society, GSMC members must prove a direct lineage line back to a resident of Marion County who joined the Union Army or Navy during the Civil War period, April 12, 1861 to April 9, 1865.
            Interested applicants should print the Application Form (See the link above) and follow the indicated directions. The CWFMC uses a lineage style that is very similar to SAR, DAR, Indiana Pioneers, or Society of 1812 applications, all of which can be used as proof.
            The initial submission period ends on December 1, 2022, and all applications should be postmarked by that deadline. Visit the GSMC website at www.genealogyindy.org for further guidance and feel free to email with questions. The first Induction Class will be specially honored at the GSMC monthly meeting in December 2022.

Are you up to the challenge???
