Find Your Family in the Civil War. Free.

By Tom O’Connor | Steel and Honor Series

A name on a muster roll is not just ink on paper. It is a man who marched, fought, and came home, or did not.

For years, that name sat buried in scattered records. Some lived in National Archives boxes. Some lived in state databases nobody indexed well. Most readers gave up before they found their ancestor.

I built a tool to fix that.

The Steel and Honor Muster Roll

The Muster Roll is a free search tool. Type in a name. Get back the soldier’s unit, his regiment, and the battles he marched into.

The data comes from the National Park Service’s Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System. Over six million names, drawn from the official record and free for anyone to search.

Your Ancestor and the Books

Search a name, and the tool does something most genealogy sites do not. It connects the regiment to the battle, and the battle to the Steel and Honor series.

Andrew McAllister stands at Burnside’s Bridge during Antietam. Nathaniel McAllister and James Tanner fight at Gettysburg. Andrew serves again at Vicksburg.

If your ancestor marched through the same ground, the tool tells you. You read the novels knowing your own family stood in those fields.
