I have a question, and forgive me if this has been asked/answered in the past, regarding how to request a Civil War solidier's service records from the state of NY.? 1) Where do you write to? 2) What is included in the record? 3) Is it super expensive? 4) Would the records help me finally break down the wall of his place of birth in Ireland?? I am fairly certain that my GG Grandfather,?John J.?Carey,?was a Corporal in the 158th Infantry's Co A from 9/8/1862 to 10/1865 and would love to order his record for genealogy purposes. There was a gap in children being born to he and my GG Gradmother that chronologically fits and supports this time frame.?Thanks in advance! Susan?
