They also have reunion booklets, letters from a soldier, Journal, and more. Its wonderful to have a copy of them, which also list some physical features like height and the guardians name if the soldier was under age. Below is the main page and direct link. Laura http://clrc.org/digital/digindex.shtml http://library.hamilton.edu/collections/civil_war/go.php?scrid=117th I had no problem with the two sites...highlighted and then cut/paste and got right into the info. It is well presented in various manners, by place of birth, place of enlistment, occupation; although I did not find all four of the Herrnecker brothers, due to creative spelling and such, did find enlistment of Phillip Hinniger...one of the multiple spellings on his pay records from the 117th.
