Greetings ya'all, Below is a post that I had intended to forward to the group but failed to send. I have been to the mentioned web site and it works just fine. Leslie Bridges Kohler ~Now at Rootsweb *KOEHLER* surname list~ [Welcomes any and all variations of the Köhler Surname] ---------- : From: Robert W. King <robtking@prioritysolutions.com> : To: Missouri-L@rootsweb.com : Subject: [Missouri-L] WBTS Regimental Histories and other goodies for genealogists : Date: Sunday, July 26, 1998 2:35 PM : : Hi ya'll! : : I've discovered a very handy web site for us folks that are seeking : regimental histories of Civil War units. It's run by Dr. Ken Jones, the : University Librarian of the Dick Smith Library, Tarleton State University, : Stephenville, TX. The URL is : http://www.tarleton.edu/activities/pages/facultypages/jones/ : : What is particularly neat about this site is that by simply clicking on : links, you can get to online regimental histories of what appear to be most : of the units involved in the Civil War - north or south. The information for : the units appears to have been copied directly from Dyer's Compendium or : from Sifakis' Compendium of the Confederate Armies. : : Of perhaps greater interest to many of us is that this same web site also : has links to many unit rosters and other information in addition to the unit : histories. Here's your chance to find out if great-great-granddaddy : surrendered with his outfit at the end of the war or took "French leave" : beforehand. The only research skill required is some pointing and clicking : without all that tedious wading through unfamiliar reference books in some : musty, dusty library. : : Now, it's not 100% complete. Dr. Jones can only put up links to web sites : and pages that exist. If somebody hasn't posted a roster for the Umpty-Umpth : Missouri Infantry, you're out of luck until they do. : : Robert W.
