Jean, Your soldier was a member of both Company H and Company D. You can see this on the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil War site. The Film and Roll number are referring to the microfilm records at NARA. You can obtain his records from NARA. If you need further help, let me know. http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/index.html http://www.archives.gov/research_room/genealogy/military/civil_war_records html Jim Gilmer -------Original Message------- From: CIVIL-WAR-L@rootsweb.com Date: Saturday, November 08, 2003 12:00:50 To: CIVIL-WAR-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CIVIL-WAR] 4th.
