  7. The Southern Claims Commission consisted of a 3-man panel and was authorized by Congress to consider claims from pro Unionists who were living in Confederate States and had suffered losses at the hands of the Union Government during the Civil War. A little more than 23,000 individuals filed claims with the commission. Many die hard Confederates filed claims believing that the government owed them for their hardships during the war. The documents filed and testimonies given yield a wealth of genealogical information. A good finding aid is: Civil War Claims in the South: An Index of Civil War Damage Claims filed before the Southern Claims Commission, 1871-1880
