    3. Homer I got out of the loop on this one. I had almost forgot. The Tennessee information is now on the National Park service web site for the Civil War. Go to this site and it may help. http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm I helped transcribe that information, it was part of the UDC project. I know all the states were working on theirs. It took them over 3 years to get it up on the site after we had completed the transcribing. If this don't work. Send the info to me. I live in Tennesseea and my library or Shiloh should have the info. This will give me a good excuse to run up to Shiloh. I live about 90 miles away they have a data base with all the CSA info on it.
