Dear Listers: At http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyjeffer/cwant.htm you will find a list of the men from the Town of Antwerp who served in the Civil War. This is one of the poorer lists in all of Jefferson County, and we can all be thankful for Diana Law's patience and perseverance, as well as her persistence in looking up many of the items to make sure she read the faulty hand writing correctly. This is a labor of love on her part, and I do mean labor. In 1865, after the war ended, New York State required such lists from every town of every county. We are fortunate that most of the towns in Jefferson County sent theirs in. Unfortunately, the town of Antwerp evidently compiled theirs well after the fact. Undoubtedly not all the men are listed, and certainly not in the wonderful detail that some of the other towns preserved. Possibly there was a change of town clerks, and the new one did not know the men who served. The Jefferson County GenWebSite obtained copies of these town clerk records from the NYS Archives in Albany, which has on microfilm all the lists that survived. Volunteers have transcribed nearly all of them, and the Jefferson County GenWebSite at <http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyjeffer/> has many of them on line. Click on the index at the bottom of the Antwerp page for a listing of all the towns currently posted, as well as a wealth of other Civil War materials, such as Harold Sanderson's extensive list of soldiers and sailors from Jefferson County, as well as burials and censuses of Civil War service people. There are yet more towns to be transcribed, and other towns which have been transcribed and must be proofread. Competent volunteers are needed for this. We'd like to finish this project and go on to others! Enjoy. Nan Dixon
