    1. [NEW-GEN-URL-L] Military Records - Civil War
    2. Thanks to Sally Haverly, we have just added about 120 more names to the military records database at the USGenExchange. These records are for soldiers buried in the Ames, Iowa, cemetery. The names came from a 1917 Iowa Weekly newspaper article in the Ames, Iowa, paper for "Homage to GAR Veterans." It lists name, regiment, company, and whether they were killed in action. Below are just a few of the surnames added to the Civil War military records database: BRENNEMAN BIGELOW BACON BREESE COPESTAKE CRISTMAN CRAIG DEAL EDDY GREGORY GREELEY GRAVES HODSON HEMSTREET JONES KELLEY LOUD LOUGHMAN LYMAN McCARTNEY McELYES MUNN PITSOR STARR SMITH THAYER TILDEN WILTSIE Many of these veterans served in the war in units other than Iowa, so check out the database and you might find your ancestor listed there. Happy hunting, Sincerely, Mona Sarratt Knight - MonaNAriz@aol.com State Coordinator - IOWA http://www.genexchange.org/state.cfm?state=ia USGenExchange - a FREE web site for genealogical data, with thousands of biographies, births, deaths, marriages, histories.
