Andrea, There is a book set called the United States Roll of Honor which lists Union soldiers who died during the Civil War. It was reprinted recently by the Genealogical Publishing Co. of Baltimore, and is indexed. Many big libraries own it. Some states have Confederate Rolls of Honor books- Missouri has such a book, as does South Carolina. There are also books which list men who died in particular battles, or particular Civil War prisons. Finally, some national cemetery lists are now online- I know Camp Butler in Springfield, IL is online. National Cemeteries are administered by the Veterans' Administration. Tom Pearson

It would be easy if the 112th had been transcribed as many of the other regiments have been. The full transcription gives quite a bit of information. Go the the Illinois Civil War Project and then to the 112th, and click on Unassigned Recruits. You can see the type of information that would become available when the transcription is done. Unfortunately, all the transcriptions are done by volunteers, and it takes time. I hate to send you to a "pay per view" site right away. Why don't you go to this page: http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/research_series/rseri es3.html Then scroll down to Civil War. Take special notice of the last paragraph: "Mail, Telephone And Internet Requests" You can call or mail the Illinois State Archives and get some very good information very cheaply. Call them first and get their advice on how to do it. I got my first records of my g.g.grandfather this way. I found that he had brown eyes, brown hair, a dark complexion, and was 5' 10" tall. It showed his muster in/ discharge dates also. From there, I got copies of his complete records from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). I got his military record and his pension record - complete with copies of handwritten letters applying for a veteran's pension. I would wait until the records arrive from Illinois Archives before sending for the federal records. The price on the federal records has gone up dramatically this last year. You can get to NARA's site at: http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/civilwar.html This will keep you busy for a day or two. Good luck again. By the way, I was born in SAINT Louis - but I suspect canonization is a long ways off. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Poohcrew76@cs.com> To: <IL-CIVIL-WAR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 7:34 PM Subject: Re: [IL-CIVIL-WAR] 112th Illinois Volunteer Regiment > you sir are a saint thank you.

Hi there, I am a new one to the list and could really use some help. I am looking for information on this regiment. Or even where to find information on them. ThanK yOU Andrea

Andrea, Start by looking here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilcivilw/index.htm All the regiments and counties are listed. However, the 112th doesn't have detailed rosters on line on this site. You can get listings of the soldiers in the unit by going to the following website and doing a search. http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/genealogy/civilwar.ht ml If you go to that page and type the following data[ 112 il us inf ]into the blank titled "unit", you will get the whole roster. If you only want a certain company, type the company letter in the appropriate blank. Good Luck Jack Cox Descendant of G. L. Palmer, Co.

Dan, I've been researching a Dennis Curran, born Ireland, age 36 at enlistment in July of 62, into Co. F, 100th IL, from Palos, Cook Co. I've also found a Dennis Curran involved in politics in the 10th Ward in the postwar years but so far have not been able to make a connection between the two. If anything sounds possible let me know and I'll look back at my research.

Jack, Noone knows the name of this supposed vet. Some male names do run in this Curran family including James, Joseph, George, Hugh, Frank, and James. This is all I have to go by.

I have a Hugh Curran born Chicago 1851. According to family lore, his father/brother/uncle was a Civil War vet and has a statue of him in uniform in a Chicago cemetary. Could someone please verify/dispell this for me? Hugh was a US Marshall and a leader in the 10th ward in Chicago. Died 1901. Dan Hogan

That would be the US Army Military History Institute, which is a part of the Army War College. See http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usamhi/ContactMHI.html for information. They have an extensive online data base of photograph descriptions in their collection.

Hi to all you knowledgeable Civil War Buffs! I was advised to write to Carlisle, PA for a description of my gr grandfather's unit in the Civil War - Co. I, 63rd infantry. I was also advised there even might be a photo of this unit. Would anyone have the correct address to send this to? TIA Joyce McDaniel Hennessy

Thank you for the reply, i believe this will be most helpful in my search. I am doing family genealogy at present. I am a retired nurse aide age 68 and now have the time to do research on my family. I was adopted at the age of nine months, never got to know my family until i was grown and married. I lost a lot of time, and really have never gotten too well acquainted with any of them as i live across the country, so finding any relative, no matter how far back is a delight to me. Thank you so very much. Wanda M. Nelsen

Please help. >> The following is from the Lousiana State University civil war site: http://www.cwc.lsu.edu/ I hope this helps you. <<Beginning Your Research The three most valuable pieces of information when researching a Civil War ancestor are the soldier's name, whether he served for the Union or Confederate army, and the state from which the soldier served. By knowing these facts, other aspects of a soldier's record of service can often be determined. Usually, the piece of information that poses the most problems to find is the state from which the soldier served. Often, you will find that you have vague idea of the soldier's state of service, but you are not quite sure. The easiest way to confirm this is to contact the state archives in the state of possible service. They should be able to direct you to the muster rolls for their state if you go to the archives in person, or inform you of the procedure for requesting that information if you write or call. Remember to keep your requests simple, and offer only those details pertinent to your request. Be aware that names were often misspelled, so do not despair if you have a hard time finding your ancestor. Chances are he is listed under a name with a similar spelling. With those three pieces of information verified, the next step is to retrieve the soldier's pension records. Pension records offer more information useful to the genealogist, and also provide a more complete picture of a soldier's military career. Some Confederate states issued pensions until 1959, and those pension can be found filed in the state archives in the state in which the soldier retired. All Union pensions and Confederate pensions issued after 1959 can be found by writing the National Archives and Records Administration. A NATF Form 80 must be requested, filled out, and submitted before records can be researched. In order for the National Archives to process the NATF Form 80, you must include the veteran's name, Civil War Union or Confederate service, branch of service, and the state from which he served. They will contact you with an invoice for copy fees, which must be paid before the copies are sent. It will take a few weeks for the request to be fully processed. If pension records do not exist for your ancestor (Union or Confederate), you can write to the National Archives for the military record of the soldier in question. However, you should be aware that these records aren't as useful, and are subject to the same process as described earlier for requesting pension records.>>
