    3. The National Park Service is also imputting and is almost complete in computerizing a list of "Civil War" soldiers. The information should be available at a national park. Several years ago when visiting Shiloh Battlefield there was a computer available to look up soldiers. This was long before much data was imputed. I know for a fact the the United Daughters of the Confederacy volunteered to imput most of the data for the Southern States and then began helping with the northern states. The last report we got was they were almost complete. This might be a way of finding the soldier and the unit he is in then one can look for the history of the unit to see if it was from Hardin county. Sharon M.
