Noel Matthews posted this on the Williamson COunty site and it is phenomenal: Here is a neat site where you can put in the name of someone who served in the Civil War (either side) and get information. The site is handled by the National Park Service and is called the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System. Also gives a short history of the unit that the individual served in.
