The NY state archives has the Civil War enlistment records for all of NY State. They are from the Adjutant General. You can do a search by name. It's been a long time since I did this so there may be changes. Then you could get a record for $3 apiece. If you know what unit that helps. If there were say 6 men with the same name you could order all six for a small cost so you can figure out which record is the right one. Those records give physical descriptions and place of birth. The only records you can count on the data given by the person himself. Those records give enlistment dates plus changes of unit or location. I found them most helpful in sorting who was who. Those records have personal Information not found elsewhere. My requests were quickly filled too. There .may be changes since I did this, but worth looking there.

An easier way to identify your ancestral soldier is to go into the 1890 Veterans' Schedule on Ancestry. Adjust the drop down menu for exact name and state for your ancestor.
