Hi, Contribution to Civil War discussion...There are rosters of men who served in the Civil War from Ohio at the Ohio Historical Society, the State Library and the Main Library on Grant St. downtown. At the Ohio Historical Society there is a Grave Registration File which names and provides info on any soldier who died in Ohio and served in various Wars. Many states have a variety of ways of recording those who served. It might be valuable to look for information in the state where your ancestor resided when he enlisted. Donna Wolf
