The thought has occurred to me that some of you finding an ancestor listed on my postings of the 1st Georgia Reserves and wishing to obtain your ancestor's military records, must always be careful when writing off for those compiled military service records. There were actually two (2) 1st Georgia Reserves. One was the 1st Georgia Reserves (Fannin's) and the other was the 1st Georgia Reserves (Symonds) so one has to make sure to always call this outfit "Fannin's 1st Georgia Reserves" to differentiate it from Symonds 1st Georgia Reserves. If you should write off for their mililtary records and not use the right regiment, you might not get the records you are seeking. The Archives in Atlanta charge for just a search and if nothing turns up in their search, you have lost your money and gained nothing. There is another wonderful little genealogical library at Macon, Georgia that has the same records and their cost is minimal to obtain CW military records. If you need this address, let me know. For your own personal records regarding documentation, the entire muster roll of the 1st Georgia Reserves (Fannin's) is on microfilm at the Archives in Atlanta, Georgia......back half of 254-78, 254-79, and 254-80. If you live close enough to make use of these, you can obtain a copy of your ancestor's military records for only the cost of copying. The library in Macon, Georgia only charges you for the cost of copying ($.40 per page) plus postage. And, they also have any pension applications that were filed in the state of Georgia on record so by writing to the one location, it is possible for you to obtain both military records & pension papers at the same time.
