Janet, I found your Naril Politte listed as Maria Politte on CivilWar data.com. (It says "possibly Naril Politte b. 10-30-1836 in Old Mines Mo, d. 8-28-1920) He was in the 15th MO, co "F", and fought at many battles in the west, such as Resaca, Kennesaw Mountain, Murfreesbora, Chickamauga. They marched with Sherman, and also fought at Franklin and Nashville. I don't know how the spelling mistake came to be, but if it listed like this on his records, you should mail for them that way. I would mail for them both ways, just in case. Lorie Castro
