    1. [IL-CIVIL-WAR] locating Civil War graves
    2. John & Kristie Robinson
    3. I just joined the list, so I apologize if this question is a repeat. Can anyone tell me how to find the specific cemetery, or location that my ancestor is buried in beyond the information sent from NARA? My g-g-g-grandfather Jesse McBride fought and died during the Civil War. His papers show him to have died in Cairo, Illinois on one form and Mound City, Illinois on another form. Would he most likely have been buried where he died, or transported back to his home county of Johnson County, Illinois? Also, is there a way to find out if his grave is marked by a military headstone remembering his service? Thank you for your help, Kristie Robinson
