Our Union Ancestors
Department Brothers and Auxiliary Sisters honor Union Veterans of the Civil War by learning about them through research, discovering the facts of their military service, and understanding the times in which they lived. The following is a partial list of our ancestral family. These men, listed alongside their units, were soldiers, sailors, or marines who served honorably in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, or Revenue Cutter Service of the United States of America between April 12, 1861, and April 9, 1865. If you find someone on the list who would qualify you for membership in one of our Camps or Auxiliaries, we have the documentation of his honorable service to the Union on file.
You can use our site search feature (the magnifying glass at top right of the website) to search our entire website for names and locations.
Membership inquiries can be directed to join@suvpnw.org and we will help you.
