Few pictures on this board pair personal record-keeping with national symbolism as directly as this Confederate family record certificate, which combines blank lines for births, marriages and deaths with portraits and flags. Printed family certificates like this were produced in the South during and after the Civil War, when a household's history could be tied to the cause its men had fought for. Its place among Gettysburg views reflects how the battlefield became a focus of later memory, including the Lost Cause ideas that shaped how many Southern families honored their dead.
