    1. [GAEMANUE] Confederate soldier data/information

    3. Dear List, I recently made a trip to Manassas National Battlefield and realized the park has a new bookstore (since I was there) with a computerized database that allows one to search for Civil War Soldiers by state. After not finding my ancestor in SC census records, his name (HOPEFULLY HIM) popped up in the database in the county I'd been searching for YEARS. I'm sharing this information in hopes that it will help someone else. The database I accessed at Manassas National Battlefield is Broadfoot's Confederate Roster. For $5, I got one page, with 28 GOFFs from SC who fought in the Confederacy. It gave me their surname, first name, and middle initial. It also gave me the unit, company and rank. You might try telephoning the bookstore at 703-361-6549 if interested in a Soldier Name List. Alternatively, this same information is available at the Broadfoot website for $10. You can see the website at http://soldiersearch.com or call 1-800-537-5243. I ordered my ancestor's service and pension records for much less ($ and time) then what I can do at the National Archives...and I live just 10 miles from the National Archives! Hope I am not disappointed with the result. Denise Denise Lindsey Wells [email protected] 703-241-2549 (h) 703-507-6703 (c)
