The SCV is the direct heir of the United Confederate Veterans, and the oldest
hereditary organization for male descendants of Confederate soldiers.
Organized at Richmond, Virginia in 1896, the SCV continues to serve as a
historical, patriotic, and non-political organization dedicated to insuring
that a true history of the 1861-1865 period is preserved. 

Membership in the Sons of Confederate Veterans is open to all male descendants
of any veteran who served honorably in the Confederate armed forces.
Membership can be obtained through either direct or collateral family lines
and kinship to a veteran must be documented genealogically. The minimum age
for membership is 12. 

The SCV has ongoing programs at the local, state, and national levels which
offer members a wide range of activities. Preservation work, marking
Confederate soldier's graves, historical re-enactments, scholarly
publications, and regular meetings to discuss the military and political
history of the War Between the States are only a few of the activities
sponsored by local units, called camps. 

All state organization, known as Divisions, hold annual conventions, and many
publish regular newsletters to the membership dealing with statewide issues.
Each Division has a corps of officers elected by the membership who coordinate
the work of camps and the national organization.

In order to assist descendents of Confederate Veterans in locating vital
information about their family's heritage, the Sons of Confederate Veterans is
pleased to offer the services of the SCV Genealogical Network. A State
Genealogist has been appointed for each Confederate State and Territory. These
genealogists are available to find military records for potential SCV members
as well as current members. The cost is $5.00 per search payable in advance.
In return, the genealogist will search the military records held in his State.
You must provide the name and, if possible, other information such as county
of residence, age, etc. In other words, provide as much information as
possible to help identify the soldier. The genealogist is not required to copy
records, but will provide a brief synopsis of the military records and the
address where the copies of the originals can be obtained.
