Denis, A good starting point is Frederick Phisterer, _NY in the War of the Rebellion_, 6 vols, 1912. These include rosters by regiment of those who enlisted from NY. NH also published one: Ayling, _Revised Register of the Soldiers and Sailors of NH in the War of the Rebellion_, 1895. LArge university or city libraries may have copies of either. Have you checked with the National Archives to get the Compiled Service Records, the Carded MEdical Files and the Pension Records? You can either go yourself, or order them. Ordering takes several months! Go to nara.gov and burrow into their pages on CW records. Also check at the library for Groene, _Tracing Your Ancestors_, Rev. Ed., 1995. You will need to order copies of NARA form 80 (yo can do it on-line) to request the records. A better, if more expensive, choice, is to go yourself. The NARA folks are wonderful and extremely helpful and it is a special treat to actually hold the original documents in your hands! Such things as date of death and children, etc., will often show up among the documents. Be prepared to get dirty: most of the files you will pull have not been looked at since the Pension Office compiled them back in the 1890s!
