I hope a number of people on this list took the time to thank Eleanor privately for transcribing the names of this regiment. Although I personally have no one (that I know of yet) who served in this particular regiment, I do know that it took Eleanor quite a bit of time to locate the information and transcribe it (or even just to forward it). I know that Eleanor did this just to help the rest of us, but a word of thanks is always appreciated. I did appreciate the thanks of those of you I was able to assist with my census research. I still have one more roll to look at and I've found the whole experience very educational with regard to customs of the 1870s. For example, I found a "Home for Fallen Women" with the names of all of the "Fallen" listed along with their ages and birthplaces. When I later came upon 3 women in another ward whose profession was listed as "prostitute" I wondered how I would have felt if I had encountered an ancestor ... no, none of the names any of you sent me to look up were listed there either... Again, my thanks to Eleanor for her efforts .... Janet

Woops! I hope this didn't sound like I was flaming anyone ... I just wanted to pass along my thanks to Eleanor ... J.
