Genealogy on eBay I am a fan of eBay in general. I have gotten many hard to find Native American items on eBay. But one of the best uses for a genealogist is to acquire objects that connect you to your own past. Stories abound of people who have found diaries from their family and family bibles on eBay. These are treasures that are very missed and it's good they have a way of getting home. One item you can find a lot of on eBay is Civil War Memorabilia. From buttons to uniforms to letters and diaries you'll see quite a selection. If you purchase any of the letters or diaries consider putting them online for two reasons. Number one the stories are of immeasurable value to everyone. Second, you might just find their home.
