Bob, I just sent to NYS for a Civil War records for $3. I will let you know what it includes when I receive it. This is much less than the NARA files. I was googling around last weekend and found New York State Archives - http://iarchives.nysed.gov/CivilWarWeb/print.jsp that is the page I printed my request so you would have to go back to "home" tab and start your search, it searches by Name & company if know if not just the Name and will list all of them, I found only about 6 James Dickinson's so I narrowed it down by age, and took a chance for $3 to see if it has enough detail to prove he's mine. Thanks, Carol L. Heap "You live as long as you are remembered"
