The 35th and 57th Alabama Infantry Regiments were indeed consolidated on April 10, 1865. However, both of these commands lost their original identity to become part of the consolidated 27th Alabama. That's why you see men from the 35th, 49th, 55th and 57th with duplicate index entries in the 27th Alabama. If they were still on roll at the time these units were consolidated, their names will also be listed with the 27th Alabama. I've gotten off track with my reply. I intended to demonstrate that someone from the 35th Alabama could be listed with the 27th, but not the 57th. Charlie's intent was well placed, but the specifics were wrong.
