    1. Re: [NYERIE] Index of CW participants?

    3. As far as I know, such a list does not exist. The Adjutant General's Reports from circa 1906 list all the men from NY State who served in the Civil War, in order by regiment. In the 1990s, these 60-some volumes were indexed by surname, so you can finally look up a soldier by name and see what unit he was in. I don't think the AG's reports give the hometown of enlistees--I'll have to doublecheck. There are lists of what CW units were organized in what cities, but these are an unreliable indicator or a soldier's hometown. Many traveled to enlist somewhere other than home. For example, many Canadians crossed the border to enlist in Buffalo. It appears that the AG's reports for NY have been entered in this database: http://www.civilwardata.com/ Hope this helps! --- John Ozment <johnozment@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Two of my great, great-grandfathers were of an appropriate age > to POSSIBLY have served from Erie County during the Civil War: > (1) Anton "Anthony" Batt (1819-1896), and > (2) Christian "Christ" Le(a)brenz [Leverenz] (1828-1893). > > WHERE DO I FIND AN INDEX OF CIVIL WAR PARTICIPANTS > FROM ERIE COUNTY, EITHER ONLINE OR IN PRINT? > > Thank you! > > > > ==== NYERIE Mailing List ==== > To contact the List Administrator: Dick Rose <dtrose@cox.net> > See the Archived Messages at: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ > > ============================== > Search Family and Local Histories for stories about your > family and the > areas they lived.
