Mikki - Jack is correct and if you work this resource you can use the soldier's name, home town or county, as well as the unit. I might suggest you make sure there has not been a "roster error" in the middle initial and your soldier is one instead of two - I have had this happen with my people on more than one occassion. You may have solid evidence as to two - just a suggestion.

One needs to be aware that all of the entries at the Illinois Secretary of State's site are interpretations of various qualities of cursive writing that was copied from other documents, and its original form was dictated to a scribe from a new recruit. The preciseness of the entries must always be questionable. I would venture that errors should be expected in such forms. Dick Hudson
