1. Re: [NY-Mil] MILITARY SERVICE RECORDS PRE 1776 [1]
Try town, county and state histories. People were considered in the service if they were a part of the militia. Also, if they or their village was attacked by the Indians and they defended themselves. There was no organized national service. These were separate colonies who had their own militia or minutemen that defended the villages. some English soldiers were here but most were fighting in England against the French. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Phillips" To:
2. Re: [NY-Mil] 5th American Regiment [1]
Hi Don, Thanks for the interest. Yes, by the end of the war he was Col. Banastre Tarelton. My understanding is that he was in command of the 17th light dragoons and a composite of men that made up the British Legion. These became, after Cowpens, the 5th American Regiment, Establishment 1782. I am indeed trying to get accurate information about the makeup of the Legion prior to the Southern Campaign. References are appreciated . Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Baratta"

Do you have any info on this soldier ? He fought at Albany,NY under Col. Topham and again in 1812 details unknown. Do you show where he is buried ? Also is there an index of artwork somewhere that would show what portraits have been painted of officers in the wars ?

4. List Administrator [1]
Hello everyone. As Diane said, I 'm taking over the role of list administrator. I've been lurking in the background on this list for several months now. Judging from the number of members and the low message volume, it looks like there are a lot of other lurkers still out there! I have not had a chance to dig into the administrator functions yet and will do that in the next couple of evenings. In the meantime, I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone and offer to be of assistance if I can. I can

M539 is the Index to Compiled Civil War Service Records for Union Volunteers from Illinois. Does that sound

Hello all: I recently asked a question about the locations of WW I Manhattan draft boards. I located the site below which has listings of draft board locations for all five boroughs. I hope it will be useful for some of you. It will be for me. Now I just have to try to determine which address would have been the most likely for my grandfather to have used in order to send out for his draft registration card. If anyone has had experience sending out for WW I draft registration cards (I have the reque

Hi All, Can SKS please tell me where I might find service records for a Captain Verdine Elsworth who served in the French/Indian Wars of the late 1750 period (I think). NARA do not keep records prior to the Revolution they tell me, so now I have to start again.

14. Re: [NY-Mil] Finding WWII records [1]
Well first you have to reverse the order of your request. You need either a serial number or a unit to get anywhere with the Military Personnel records Center. Usually those requests are sent on a Form 180 and sent to the National Personnel Records Center, St Louis Missouri. About 80% of the US Army records from 1912 to 1959 were destroyed in a fire there in 1973. However if they applied for VA benefits before the fire it is likely that through the VA you can obtain information because the VA would reque

Sometimes when I try to click on a site or try to subscribe to the NY Military list) I get the following message.."could not perform this operation because default mail client is not properly installed" Sorry ,Diane, I know this isn't a genealogy question but I am missing out on a lot of sites.

16. RE: V Mail from Europe [1]
V Mail was private communication, not government records. Even if the microfilm were still in existence it probably wouldn't be released to the public, certainly not if there is any chance that anyone mentioned in it was still alive. The purpose of V Mail was to solve a logistics problem. Instead of shipping large volumes of mail, it was microfilmed and only the film was shipped overseas. I suspect that, after a short period to verify that the hard copies of the V Mail had reached their destinations, th

19. Navy Records [1]
I'm new to this list and not sure if this question is too basic. I'm trying to locate Peter Kozak, born in New York (best I can do) in about 1928, lived in Manhattan while an adult, was in the Navy. If he retired from the Navy is there a locator service I can use if he's drawing a pension? If left the Navy too early for that, will they search for him and verify his service for me? I suspect not since it's too recent. This fellow is my cousins half-brother and she hasn't seen him in many, many years

I am sending it to all of you because their are a few things, like how to access the archives, that you may not have known or may have forgotten. Anybody catch any errors or have any suggestions to add to the welcome message, let me know. Here it is: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
22. Re: [NY-Mil] Help with finding WW1 Marine [1]
In the book "The Great War" A guide to the Service Records of all the Worlds Fighting Men and Volunteers. By Christina K. Schaeffer pub by the Genealogical Publishing Co.. There is talked about National Archives Record Group 127, Marine records. This group has alphabetical card lists of enlised men 1798-1941, deaths of enlisted men 1838-1942, discharges of enlisted men 1829-1927, casualty card lists 1776-1945, muster rolls 1798-1945 (T1118) among other records. Good luck in your search. John JSca844165@ao
