In preparation for the 2013 7-Lag Stevne, the Hadeland Lag gathered information about Civil War soldiers who emigrated from or had roots in Hadeland. This effort is still on-going.

 If you can provide additional information about an individual's service, or would like to have your Civil War soldier included, please fill out and send us a civil war soldier fact sheet.

Soldiers and volunteers who served during the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 (also known as the Sioux Uprising) served during the Civil War years and are included in this list.
