I have been on the civil war soldiers and sailors site this evening, and have a few questions for any of you who go to that site. [http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm] 1. HOW DO WE FIND ANYTHING ON OUR MISSOURI ANCESTORS IF THEY WERE IN THE MSM/ MISSOURI STATE GUARD/ E.M.M.......ETC.? 2. IS THERE ANY WAY TO ACCESS "JUST" YOUR ANCESTOR'S COMPANY? I went through almost 2,000 men to copy just my ancestor's company. [took all evening] Would like to save time if any of you know how to access just the company...not the entire regiment. thank you. joanne cole

Joanne, In regards to your MO civil war ancestor's EMM record, you can access it through the MO State Archives. I found them thoroughly by accident and they are probably the most helpful and diligent group of people that I have dealt with for a long time. Just email them what you are looking for. Give them as much info as you can and they will search their records. I received the EMM card file copies for my ancestors and after getting them, I was able to send them the regiment info for each person and they sent a copy of the muster rolls for them. The cost is minimal....I think it was only about $2 for what I received. Just give them time and be patient as it may take about 6-8 weeks to get the info. If they are able to find the information, it is well worth the wait. You can contact them through the regular mail or through their website. The contact info is listed below. Good Luck!

The enemy gave up all idea of detaching troops from Columbus. His losses were very heavy for that period of the war. Columbus was beset by people looking for their wounded or dead kin, to take them home for medical treatment or burial. I learned later, when I had moved further south, that Belmont had caused more mourning than almost any other battle up to that time. The National troops acquired a confidence in themselves at F Belmont that did not desert them through the war." > Personal Memoirs of U. S.
