If so, I don't think you're going to find him anywhere on-line - not yet, anyway; eventually, the CW Soldiers and Sailors System will include these soldiers. What you can do is research the Register of Enlistments in the US Army. This is on microfilm, and is sorted by first letter of the surname and month/year of enlistment. Almost as much fun to go through as an unindexed census film. Anyway, the film numbers (NARA) you'd want are: M233-27 (covers 1859-1863, A-K) M233-29 (covers 1864-1865, A-K) I don't know if the FHL has these. I know you can rent them either through Heritage Quest or the NARA rental program, and maybe there's a library in your area that can get them. Dennis
