The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System Web site at www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ was labeled an “Editor’s Pick” in the July- August 2010 issue of Family Chronicle magazine. The listing of 6.3 million soldiers, both Union and Confederate, is complete and came from the National Archives, according to the magazine. It is a project of the National Park Service. Civil War sailors also will be added to the database.
