Susan You are so right, the Mo Archives and now even the State Historical Society, 5 minutes from my house, has cards on microfilm showing military units for Missouri Civil War Soldiers, But SHS and MO Archives do not have the entire packet showing the soldiers' home town (in the case of black soldiers, his master, how much he earned, )pension application and the like so I'm obliged to request all that from National Archives. ( their three-month turnaround time shortened somewhat when a credit card number is used so they don't have to send back and wait to be paid) Guess there is still no way to accomplish that on the internet. I'd better get busy filling out those 30 forms to the tune of $300. -----Original Message----- From: susan lane <[email protected]> To: laura crane <[email protected]> Date: Friday, June 29, 2001 8:08 PM Subject: Re: [MOHOWARD-L] Confederate Soldiers from Howard Co, Mo in Alton Prison, Alton IL >iF YOU GO TO THE MISSOURI ARCHIVES, THEY CAN GIVE YOU THE SERVICE RECORD OF >YOUR PERSON AND THAT WILL HAVE THE PRISON NAME ON THE PAPERS.
