I am looking for my Civil War soldiers regiment flags and national flags. Does family search have these photos available in their database to print out? Any help would be appreciated.

    Oh, thank you so much! I did find the flags I've been looking for! I found the national and Regimental flags! I still need the Indiana state flag for the Civil War though. I'll find it, I just need to keep looking. Thanks so much again! Oh, the best part is they're free on the site! That's what I wanted! Have a great evening!

    I think the best resource on FamilySearch that I can think of to refer you to is the WIki - HOWEVER - of the two results that are found for "Civil War flags" the links corresponding are broken and not helpful.

    It appears a general search engine search for this topic will be more helpful.

    Example:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_the_Confederate_States_of_America

    Thank you. However, I am looking for union regiment flags and national flags. The link you gave on wiki only shows confederate flags.

    Thank you for your help. These images mostly are just images that are not marked telling what regiment they are from and the ones that are marked, are not for the 3 soldiers regiments I'm searching for. I have looked on so many sites to find the flags. I'm going to call the Indiana War Museum to see what photos they have. I'll probably have to purchase them, which is not what I want to do necessarily but if that's how I can get the images, I'll go for it. Unless I end up finding the right site that has them. Thanks again.
