In that site, click on Archives, then click on Databases. (Save this as a favorite since you will be back.) In the Databases section, there is a place where you can check for military info. You will have to play around with it. You can find listings by surname. Once you have found your person, you can check by units. I haven't searched that part of the site since spring so I've forgotten what else you can do. Maybe a list of folks from the county. If you are looking for a grave, contact T.C. Russell at s-tcr@dva.state.il.us Mr. Russell has been a big help to me when trying to locate graves of Civil War veterans. Hope this helps. Kathleen (STANFIELD) COOK
