Start by going to http://www.cyndislist.com and tracing it through the military lists. You can of course obtain their records from NARA. Cyndislist might have regimental histories too once you find them. Her list is a good place to start for just about anything. Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: <McREsq@aol.com> To: <NY-Military-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2000 8:59 PM Subject: [NY-Mil] How do I Start? > I's like to check on service records for Daniel and James Sugrue (or > Shugrue/Sughrue/Shughrue) in the civil war.
