It should be noted that since the end of the war, a LOT of information was either lost or destroyed. Especially with the Confederacy. As you will notice with a LOT of the rosters for both the Union & Confederacy, a lot of them are incomplete or have no names. Some units only have a few names that were found over the course of time. Units that should have over 1,000 men's names, might only have 3-400 or maybe less.
Please note that I am going through all of my web site and trying to square things away. I'm deleting a lot of pictures that are not really needed. I ask that if and when you go through the site and see anything that is incorrect, such as no background pictures, no pictures of headstones or any pictures and any links that don't work. Please contact me. Here is my e-mail link: Ranger95
Note: In most all of the rosters, you might see "No Further Record". The reason I put this up is because the individual was not listed on the rosters. Going through find-a-grave and other references, I would find someone and go to the Regiment/Unit they were listed as being in and I couldn't find them. I would add them to that certain Regiment/Unit. Being there was no information about the soldier, I would put in the remarks column "No Further Record".
