Many soldiers and regiments did have their images taken both in studios and in the field. Unfortunately many of the pictures of individuals have have fallen into the category of unknowns. To see how often this has happened do a search on ebay.com or check with antique shops and ephemera dealers in your area. One good site to look for images is Carlisle Barracks href> http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usamhi/PhotoDB.html They have a searchable database, but will not show the images. They will send a photocopy of the picture(limit of 2 per request, unless you want to pay) to you. A majority of the images are of Union soldiers and regiments. You might be able to find pictures of local units in area Historical Societies or Colleges. Another source would be State or Regional Historical Societies or Archives.

If I remember correctly, (it's been awhile since I've been to the archives) the film # is the location of where you might find copies of their information at the National Archives or maybe even your local genealogy library. That number is similar to the roll # of a census. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The following site is for the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (successor group to the GAR). It has many good links, in addition to the good info on the site (the links are listed near the bottom of the web site -- and this is not the home page -- you go to it also get more info): <A HREF="http://suvcw.org/id.htm">http://suvcw.org/id.htm</A> - Dan

Thanks, Jacque. Patricia

Thank you very much for the information, Dale. I'll let my cousin know. - H On Fri, 11 Jul 2003 [email protected] wrote: > Heather, > > Although many Civil War soldiers had their pictures taken (they called them > "likenesses" at that time), there was no official or systematic process by > which this was done by the governments or armies involved.

Heather, Although many Civil War soldiers had their pictures taken (they called them "likenesses" at that time), there was no official or systematic process by which this was done by the governments or armies involved. All photos taken were at the initiative and expense of the individual photographed. Ferrotypes (usually called "tintypes") were fairly expensive, one-of-a-kind images costing as much as $5, a substantial expense for the time. The glass plate negative / albumen print process yielded substantially cheaper photos, but many photographers did not have access to the print paper which came from France, particularly Southern photographers whose paper supply was impeded by the blockade.

The first Link has many web-sites, but if you scroll to the bottom, there are many Civil War links. Some are not working, but enjoy your trip through all the databases! The second link is to a site that has links to other Civil War databases. Wilma http://www.cpcug.org/user/jlacombe/mark.html#civil%20war http://www.cwc.lsu.edu/cwc/civlink.htm

The facts about the soldiers are being entered from records that are indexed to many millions of other documents about Union and Confederate Civil War soldiers maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration. http://www.archives.gov Wilma

Heather, I have not heard that. I will see if I can make an inquiry to Veteran's Admin. or NARA and see if there is any truth to that. I would suspect that if it were true, that with the growth of interest in Genealogy, and Civil War history, that it would have been mentioned on some of the many Civil War web-sites, and I have not seen it. Wilma

Thank you for the URL. I have a Civil War question: My cousin claims that every Civil War soldier had his picture taken. Her only reference is the "Antiques Road Show". Is there any truth in this? If so, how would I go about finding the pictures? I have one Union and three Confederate ancestors I'd love to find pictures of. (Three were enlisted men, and the third was an assistant surgeon). - Heather On Fri, 11 Jul 2003, Wilma Fields wrote: > Many have asked about their Ancestors in the Civil War. > This is a wonderful site!

Sorry, meant to put this one on: A Web-site for Veteran's Cemetery Burials. http://www.interment.net/us/nat/veterans.htm Wilma

Another good site to search for your Civil War soldier, officer, etc. http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss Wilma

Many have asked about their Ancestors in the Civil War. This is a wonderful site! You can search for your Union or CSA Soldier, Officer, and also Regiments. Some of the Regiments have very good information. http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss Wilma Fields

Looking for the parents of Elijah Garoutte.........born around 1870.......also any information on the Garoutte family that migrated from New Jersey....Thanks

Please note my address has chaned. I previously subscribed as a different address.

I'm researching Bond, Battle, Hemphill, Sportsman, Baker. I'm looking for any information on Thomas Carrol Bond and Victoria (Hemphill) Bond, who are buried in Osa Cemetery near Crane, MO. I heard she had been a school teacher for the Sheldon School, but I don't know if that school was in Barry, Lawrence or Stone county. They had three daughters and two sons, Gold (Bond)Threfall, Millicent "Millie" (Bond)-Threfall, whom are buried in Nolan Cemetery, Crossroads, MO; Sylvia (Bond)-Rodgers, is buried in Halltown, MO; Ralph Bond is buried next to his parents in Osa Cemetery, near Crane, MO and Mark Bond well, I have no information on him except, that he left years ago for Arizona. I do not know what Thomas did for a living. Ralph Bond had worked for the Missouri State Highway Dept., and ran a service station at the Reeds Spring Jct. for years, also one in Branson on Main street and business 65. Any information on any one of these people would be greatly appreciated.

Sometime back there was a message regarding George W. BATSON and his wife Mary Louise ROPER which I should have saved so I would know who posted it. I'm not for sure it was on this list. If the person who might have knowledge about that couple would e-mail me, I would appreciate it. I have one question to ask you. Thanks a lot. Imogene Bennett Springfield, MO [email protected]
