<A HREF="http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form"> Click here: USGS GNIS (GNIS)</A> geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form With this link or site you can locate many places such as geographical features, schools, cemeteries, old post offices, townships and towns. All you need to fill in are Feature Name (town, lake, creek, river, school, cemetery, post office, etc) and State. I was able to locate Excelsior but not Eddysville, IO. This site is worth a favorite mark, I have used it many times in my research. Larry Hunt

I think it was on this list that someone posted a URL for the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System to look for records. I printed what I found and wanted to search the site again, but I get the "Bad Gateway" screen. The address I have is www.itd.nps.gov . Is this the right address? Suzanne Hunt Thielmann
