    3. I recieved this from Bradley County list and thought it was interresting . I tried it and it showed two for Mac's side. :-) I thought I would pass this resource along too. It does work. I just recently got two photos I requested, and IT IS FREE. Sharon Dover Romanek FYI: Happy New Year! -- MEW The U.S. Army Military History Institute has started a searchable database of their Special Collections. Using this database you can see if a photograph exists of your Civil War ancestor. Just enter the surname you're searching and the results page will give any photos of any soldier with that surname, along with (if known) his regiment. Next, you can send an e-mail with the photo ID's that you're interested in. The Army will then send you (for free) a photocopy of the picture, along with instructions on ordering a duplicate photo. An 8x10 photo costs $10.00. No more then ten photos will be produced for any one customer per year. http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usamhi/PhotoDB.html You can supply any of your surnames of ancestors that may have been in the Civil War. The brief information usually mentions the regiment associated with the name, so that information can help you locate that person in Military archives
