Graves Registration

Graves Registration Project

The goal of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) National Grave Registration Project is to locate the final resting places of all Union Civil War Veterans, and enter that information into the National Graves Registration Database. This undertaking is rather large and needs as many interested people to assist as possible.

In order to complete this project, it will literally take an army of volunteers. Within the SUVCW, many Departments and Camps are currently working on the project. However, additional help is needed. Individuals and organizations are encouraged to assist in the project. For instance, individual descendants of Union veterans can register their ancestors’ graves and organizations can adopt entire cemeteries for registry.

If you are aware of the location of a Union Civil War Veteran, please contact our Graves Registration Officer Tim Beckman.
