FTM Top 10 Civil War Websites

Family Tree Magazine has posted a list of the top 10 Civil War websites for genealogists in their May 2011 issue. I thought I would post this and open the floor for comments. Let readers know what you think of these sites. Remember they are using criteria for genealogists not necessarily what others would use. My comments are strictly based upon what was published in FTM and not from my usage.

HOWEVER...I would like to compile a listing of readers top 10 Civil War websites. Please leave a comment with your favorites and I'll compile them and publish in a future post.

1) Civil War Soldiers and Sailors  This NPS site is a winner for anybody researching particular soldiers. It also has regiment information, cemeteries, POWs and more. A great site.
