If you can find your Soldier at this website: http://www.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/quincyhome.html This website tells you how to order the records. I received copies of an admission file and where my ancestor was buried along with other papers. Didn't take a long time to get the information back. They were free and I received my file back in Jan 2003. http://www.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/quincyhome.html#photocopies Dianna ----- Original Message ----- From: <SENORASIMCOX@aol.com> To: <ILADAMS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2003 6:23 AM Subject: [ILADAMS] Looking for my 3rd great grandfather..... > Hello, > > I am new to this list and just found out that my 3rd great grandfather and > possibly my 3rd great grandmother died around Quincy Illinois.
