First you're going to need to find out what regiment he served with. Once you do that, you'll then be ready to get his service record & perhaps a pension record, and start tracking his footsteps. In addition to what Joe sent: Resources at the Family History Library: http://www1.familysearch.org/sg/Tenness.html If you scroll down to Military Records and then Civil War, you'll see what resources are at the Family History Library. You can rent microfilm and microfiche through your local (hopefully) Family History Center (these are located at some LDS (Mormon) churches).
