Hey Everyone... I just joined this Civil War Network, and already started to contribute to it. If you have an ancestor that was in the Civil War, please visit this site and register. Its free. Ohio In The Civil War Network A historical research community, network & collaborative archive. http://historicalpreservation.org/civilwar/ohio/ DEB PS.... Hopefully soon, the Fallen Civil War Soldiers of Washington County, Ohio (Partial list. Abt. 624 men) will be back online. Its a database that I did back in 2005. I am currently re-formating it and getting it ready to send to Ernie Thode to be put on the Wash. Co OGS site. I'm abt. 1/2 way finished and the way I'm editing it, will be much more easier to read. Hope to have it completed by the first week of January 2009. Below is a sample of how it's being re-done. For those of you who are familar with the database, remember that I got the names entirely from Williams' History of Washington Co., Ohio. Knowing that many of them did not have the correct or all info, I did an ADDENDA using my own internet & hard copy resoures, which is included at the end of the database. If a field is left blank, that means, that Williams History did not give the info. The research done, will be included in the addenda "if" I was able to find it. Once I send it to Ernie, it will be up to him in deciding how to put it on the Wash. Co. OGS website. [Probably by township] This will come to the LIST via TEXT email. The ADDENDA will be put in italic print when submitted to Ernie. If a field is left blank, that means, that Williams History did not give the info. The research done, will be included in the addenda "if" I was able to find it. BARLOW TOWNSHIP NAME: Butler, Charles W. REGIMENT, COMPANY & RANK: 5th Colored, Co. I.
