Good Morning, As I read Pam's query I realized what an excellent web site the Illinois Secretary of State provides for looking up Union Veterans: http://www.sos.state.il.us/depts/archives/datcivil.html I have been disappointed and angered at the short shrift given these veterans by other states. I am angered because these people gave everything for their country and any remembrance they receive will still be inadequate. Please take a moment to look at Illinois' Civil War web site and see the way it is set up to recover data on individual veterans. Tell us (the entire Andersonville group) if your state or any other state has a similar data acquisition program. Thanks much and warm regards, Dick Hudson
