I am starting to upload articles to a website called HubPages, http://hubpages.com/. This is sort of like the website Squidoo, where anyone can write and publish articles online.
I am working on a series about Confederates and the Civil War. So feel free to check these articles out. You can find my profile by using my email yourfamilyhistory@hotmail.com or my user name Gena Ortega.
I have 2 articles posted as of right now, Confederate Pension Records at http://hubpages.com/hub/Confederate-Soldier-Pension-Records
and
Was your Ancestor in the Civil War? at http://hubpages.com/hub/Was-your-Ancestor-in-the-Civil-War.

Excellent articles! In my experience with using state archives to obtain copies of the Confederate Pension Applications (Texas, Alabama, and Arkansas), they have provided excellent service. If the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors system does not provide adequate information to figure out whether you ancestor was in a particular unit (for instance, only initials given for first/middle names or sparse information on where a unit recruited), I recommend using Footnote in combination with the CWSS database.
Thanks a lot, Greta for your comments and tips. I really appreciate them. I am continuing to add articles to HubPlace, so feel free to check back.
