Bill: Thank you for letting us know about the availability of the data on Civil War Soldiers on this web site. However, most of this information has already been available for years in book form. These volumes have been available at my local library, and are grouped by state(s). For example, for several surnames I have a made a copy of the page(s) of the names and units for particular surnames that were of interest to me. Some of the surnames were spelled slightly differently in Civil War records, and so if you go to the web site you may never find some of these alternatives. (I tried entering wildcards at the web site and it did not seem to bring forth these strange alternative spellings.) This multi volume set is undoubtedly a very expensive one, but worth checking out, in addition to the web site. In my humble opinion it is disappointing that the names of the spouses or residences were not entered. When I was at the National Archives there were microfilm indexes of cards of war service that included spouses names and places of birth and residence, which was much more helpful in finding new "old" connections to others with the same surname. It is possible to find where the unit they served that you find from the web site was mustered. But often soldiers went to large cities sometimes at quite a distance to be mustered. Richard

Dear Listers, Amy Johnson Crow, of the Ohio Genealogical Society, has announced to that Board that the Ohio data that was input for the Civil War Soldiers System [National Park Service] is finally online. Though OGS has not been notified "officially", Ms Crow found in while "surfing" Many people, including myself, worked on entering this data, and I am pleased to know that it is finally online. Ms Crow stated that Ohio was up before New York or Pennsylvania. The URL is http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ To search click on "Soldiers". Wado, Bill --

Hi folks, Who of any folks here subscribed attended the First Families Dinner in Bowling Green on Tuesday May 22? How was the "First Families" certificate presentation? Did any of my ELDER or ROE relatives come to get a copy of the JOHN ELDER certificate? Looking forward to receiving a copy of the certificate, so I can scan it into the ELDER webpages. Will also keep trying to find John's father JOSEPH in Pennsylvania. Westmoreland County PA looks good. Posting more discoveries to that webpage http://www.teleport.com/~nancyp/elder/WestmorelandCoPA.htm Thanks again for everyone's help in documenting JOHN ELDER and his family in Wood County. -- Nancy Elder Petersen, Retired School Librarian 14514 NE 52nd Circle Vancouver, WA 98682 Phone: 360-882-1039 http://www.teleport.com/~nancyp/elder.htm

Hi folks, Hooray! I just received notice that my application for First Families of Wood County has been approved. I'll notify my relatives, so they will know that my gg-grandfather JOHN ELDER, b. 1805 PA, and my g-grandfather JOSIAH ELDER, b. 1848, Wood County, were certified as in Wood County before 1850. Now I still need to know how John ELDER got there, and where his father JOSEPH ELDER was born. The documents I worked on for Wood County should help with the Pennsylvania search, too. Thanks again everyone who helped me here! I'm sorry I cannot attend the dinner meeting on May 22 at the Bowling Green Country Club. -- Nancy Elder Petersen, Retired School Librarian 14514 NE 52nd Circle Vancouver, WA 98682 Phone: 360-882-1039 http://www.teleport.com/~nancyp/elder.htm

I don't know all the relationships, but I do know that the following names and obits are in the book: Burns, Swope, Walters, Kuhn, Lonsway, Bisner/Bistner, Ridenour, Streng, Brickner, Wagner, King, Huss, Saunders/Sanders, Haas, Munger, Schurger, Stodt, Portz, Boner, Lang, Strenz, Schiffer, Marks, Lutz, Green, Father Charles Notheis, Yost, Rostetter, Emerine, Kelbley.

Hello Woods County Researchers, I am looking for information on Samuel Vance, (brother of Joseph Colville Vance, Governor of Ohio, of Urbana, Ohio).

My url in the queries is wrong, here is the correct one..sorry! http://www.geocities.com/ladysorrow00/index.html Thank you all, Glenda Vance Stadley
