I sent a letter to the Adjutant General's office at the State office in Springfield and received enlistment information on my gr grandfather when he joined the Illinois troops in 1861. It was info I didn't get from the National Archives about his birthplace (France), his age, marital status, where he was then living, etc. They were very prompt in replying, but this was a few years ago and I don't know how it is now. juanita > Was anyone able to access these links? > I haven't had any luck. > The 1st one said I am not authorized. > The 2nd one said it couldn't be found. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <RTooey@aol.com> > To: <ROCKINGCHAIR-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2003 11:23 PM > Subject: Re: [RC-ROOTS] VA RECORDS ILLINOIS > > > To write for VA records: Illinois State Archives,Norton > > Building.
