    3. Hi all... Wanted to take a quick second and let you all know that I finally got the webpage built and put online for the Civil War Grave Registration information. Mr. Bobby Priest, who is a member of the SUVCW, has compiled over the years data from cemeteries throughout Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee of Union Soliders and submitted them to the Sons of the Veterans of the Civil War. He has also documented many of the Confederate Soldiers burial locations and grave information. At present, all I have copies of are his Kentucky records. It is through his generosity, and gracious blessing, that we have the beginnings of these records online for anyone to access. Bear in mind, these records only show information gleaned from work he's derived from walking cemeteries and any possible book work to corroborate the information. So while some may have more information than others, he's tried to be as informative as possible. Most records have a name, burial location (with directions or approximations). In some cases he has Unit information, enlistment/discharge information, and death date information (where possible, birth dates may be available). From the submitted pictures in the Breck. Co. GenWeb Archives, several of the names with in Bobby's donated material have fortunately been ones that pictures of the headstones/markers are available. Oh, and y'all bear with some of my typing errors. The past few weeks have given me a severe case of "brain fry" with so much information. Happy Hunting!
