    Extractions: September 24-25, 2004 Tracing your ancestor's service in the Confederate army during the Civil War can be a very rewarding part of genealogical research. As the first state to secede from the Union, South Carolina has had an abiding interest in preserving a record of the Palmetto State's service to the Confederate States of America. Today, the South Carolina Department of Archives and History continues that tradition with its collection of Confederate military records. The records listed below, consisting of National Archives' microfilm and original documents from various state agencies, are the primary tools for tracing your ancestor's Confederate service. A Guide to Civil War Records , a more in depth description to our Civil War collection is available from our publications branch. All the records listed below are available to the public in SC Archives' Reference Room. For your ease, we have broken the list into two groups: military service records and veteran benefit records.

    http://www.tennessee.gov/tsla/history/military/csh1.htm
    
    Extractions: A-F G-M N-Z INTRODUCTION In 1890, the Tennessee Confederate Soldiers' Home opened on the grounds of the Hermitage Plantation, former residence of Andrew Jackson. The Soldiers' Home provided care and housing for aging confederate veterans who resided in Tennessee. Prior to admission into the facility, these veterans submitted applications to a review board. The applications contain questions designed to determine the applicants need and legitimacy for state funded care. These records are now indexed and available at the Tennessee State Library and Archives. The index is alphabetical by surname, and when available, the applicant's county of residence, military unit, and date of application are included. Most of the index data is taken directly from the applications. However, some forms are incomplete or illegible, and supplemental sources were used to create the index entry. These supplemental sources include the two volumes of Tennesseans in the Civil War Many applicants did not fill out their own forms, but instead relied on third parties who may have misread, misheard, or miswritten pertinent data. Numerous applications give several military units, but the index lists only one. The criteria for this selection are access and legibility. When viewing the applications index, one should be aware of the possibility of the applicant's service in other units.

30. Gett Kidzpage- What Is A Regiment?
    so the historian must understand the terms for military units, why they were When the confederate Army invaded Pennsylvania, Governor Andrew Curtin  
    http://www.nps.gov/gett/gettkidz/cwarmy.htm
    
    Extractions: Understanding the terms used for military organizations can be just as difficult as remembering who fought the Battle of Gettysburg, so the historian must understand the terms for military units, why they were named as they were, and how the armies were organized. Civil War armies were organized according to military manuals written long before the first shot was fired. Remarkably, the same officer wrote the manual for both sides! William J. Hardee wrote his book on infantry tactics in the 1850's and then re-wrote the manual for Confederate use when he resigned from the United States Army and joined the Confederacy. The War Departments of North and South made several adjustments to their respective military departments and army organizations throughout the war, but the basic organization remained the same. The two armies that fought at Gettysburg were organized in a similar fashion and had a similar command structure. The "Army of the Potomac" was the primary Union army in the eastern theater of the war and the "Army of Northern Virginia" was the main Confederate force.

    http://www.nps.gov/gett/getttour/armorg.htm
    
    Extractions: Library of Congress To the non-military buff, the organization and terminology used for Civil War armies can be very confusing. The "Army of the Potomac" was the main Union army in the eastern theater of the war and the "Army of Northern Virginia" was the main Confederate force. Remarkably, both of the armies that fought the Battle of Gettysburg were organized in a similar fashion including a structure of corps, divisions, and brigades. But what were these different organizations and how did they all fit in to one huge force? The Federal government and the Confederate government both had war departments, which oversaw the organization, supply, and movements of their respective armies. Civil War-era armies were organized according to military manuals including those adopted by the Federal War Department prior to 1861. Because the war had to be fought over a large area of the South, the Union and the Confederacy both had several armies, each fighting in different "theaters" or sections of the country. Each army was a structured organization that included a general headquarters, infantry, artillery, cavalry, signalmen, engineers, quartermaster and commissary departments. The largest single organization of an army was a corps (pronounced "core"). The Union Army at Gettysburg had seven infantry corps and a cavalry corps, each commanded by a major general. The Confederate Army had three infantry corps, each commanded by a lieutenant general. Typically, a Confederate corps was much larger than a Union corps. A corps included three infantry

    Extractions: Some Confederate soldiers The Confederate States Army (CSA) was formed in February , to defend the Confederate States of America , which had itself been formed that same year when seven southern states seceded from the United States (with four more to follow). The army was formed around a core of 313 officers who left the United States Army , and had an initial enlistment of 82,000 volunteers. In August of 1861, the Congress of the Confederacy authorized the recruitment of 400,000 men. In April of , The Confederate Congress passed the Conscription Act , which drafted all white men aged 18 to 35. In total, 1,406,180 men enlisted or were drafted into the Confederate States Army. The CSA was initially a (strategically) defensive army, and many soldiers resented it when Lee led the Army of Northern Virginia in an invasion of the North in the Antietam Campaign . As many as 50,000 men deserted during the start of the campaign, claiming that their enlistments were for defense of their homeland, not invasion. After the losses at Vicksburg and Gettysburg , the number rose to 100,000.

    http://dlis.dos.state.fl.us/barm/fsa/civilwar.htm
    
    Extractions: Florida played an active, if less than prominent, role in the American Civil War. Once derisively called the "Smallest Tadpole in the Dirty Pool of Secession," Florida had joined the Union only fifteen years before its January, 1861 secession, and the state's population was the smallest by far of any in the Confederacy. Florida nonetheless provided an estimated 15,000 troops for Confederate service, as well as several thousand black and white Union volunteers. The state's coastline harbored blockade runners and Florida beef, pork, sugar, molasses, and salt helped feed the armies of the South. A number of military engagements occurred in the state, most importantly the February 20, 1864 battle of Olustee, which ended in a decisive Confederate victory. At the close of the war, Tallahassee was the last state capital east of the Mississippi River to remain in Confederate hands.

    http://dlis.dos.state.fl.us/barm/fsa/militarypension.htm
    
    Extractions: The Florida State Archives maintains a large collection of records relating to Florida's role in the military history of the United States. Of particular interest to genealogists as well as historians are military records that provide information on individuals who served in the armed forces during our country's various wars. The Florida State Archives has service records and pension records for many other states on microfilm. These cannot be researched by staff due to the limited number of staff members, however, they are available to all patrons who visit the archives. During the American Revolution east and west Florida were British royal colonies. Unlike their thirteen neighbors to the north however, the Florida colonies remained loyal to the crown. During the Revolution the Floridas served as a haven for southern loyalists. Several skirmishes were fought along the Georgia-Florida border, and Pensacola was captured by Spanish forces. Because the Revolution took place prior to the American acquisition of Florida, the Archives contains no original archival or manuscript material relating to this conflict. The Archives does have a variety of published books in its Genealogical Collection pertaining to the Revolution, including printed soldiers' rosters from several states and an index to Revolutionary War pension applications (the originals of which are in the National Archives). Additionally, the Archives houses a set of the National Archives Microfilm Publication M804/805: "Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty-Land Warrant Application Files, 1800-1900."

    http://www.rollcallresearch.com/confederate-soldier-research.html
    
    Extractions: We are able to search a number of Confederate records held by the National Archives, but keep in mind that these records are often fragmentary due to incomplete muster and descriptive rolls. For some companies such rolls were not even prepared; for many, only a part of the required information was provided and for hundreds of others, records have been lost or destroyed. Moreover, some soldiers served in State militia units that were not mustered into Confederate service. These Confederate records can often be located at the appropriate state archives. The Compiled service records consist of a card or cards containing information abstracted from such original records as muster rolls, regimental returns, and medical and prison registers. The records usually show a soldierÕs presence or absence on certain dates, his rank and military organization, and the term of his service. Civil War service records may provide information about a soldierÕs imprisonment. If he was captured, his record may show the date of his release and parole or the details of his death if he died in prison. They sometimes list the age, place of enlistment, place of birth and may even provide a physical description. These records are valuable for proving military service.

    http://hem.passagen.se/csa01/
    
    Extractions: There is a deplorable lack of writing on the Confederate Partisan Ranger Corps and the guerrilla commands outside the corps. I have now worked for more than eight years on a study of the partisan rangers, unit by unit. There are of course many difficulties. The greatest maybe is, like I do, to live in Europe and that it is an Atlantic Ocean between the researcher and the sources. So the work progresses slowly. In May 1861 a man interested in military affairs in the village of Forest Depot, Bedford Country, Virginia sat down to write a letter to General Robert E. Lee. Captain R.C.W.Radford offered to raise and mount a company of a thousand active men for Ranger or irregular service if the Confederate government was willing to arm them with long-range guns and pistols. The object of such a unit would be to annoy and harass an invading army, cut off escorts and detachments. Lee sent Captain Radfords letter to Colonel Jubal A. Early, who was in charge of organising in Radfords area and on the letter was made a note that the writer would probably be suitable as a company commander. Had Radford alone been the man behind the idea it would probably not have come to much. But as he wrote the newspaper Dispatch of Richmond had a leading editorial urging that men of the Old Dominion form themselves into companies for guerrilla warfare
