    1. [BRIDGES-L] Searchable "Official Records"
    2. Wesley Gann
    3. Any one wishing to track their Bridges ancestors Civil War regiment etc., the "Official Records" are on line along with a half -way decent search ,( Do this by the units' officer who would be filing the report, not your Bridges Private so and so.) These reports give first hand accounts, ranging from Lee-Grant etc., down to individual battalion, unit, battery, etc. commanders. I'm sitting here now with about 50 pages from my GGGrandfathers' Artillery Battalion, down to his battery, from beginning to end of war. This is only 50 pages because I did not print the 10+ page reports of General McClaws, where his battery was mentioned on numerous occasions. One more thing , Search results give Chapter, not Volume #. This means When you see XXXI, go to the campaign/battle listed at top of each search query, not Series XXXI. Chapter # on that specific campaign should match. Then, just type in page #. Happy Hunting, Wesley http://www.ehistory.com/uscw/library/or/index.cfm
