I found this while researching today and felt it was way too impt. not to
share. The names included in it are very familiar to most of us. Maybe
this will help someone find that WBTS ancestor that has been missing!!

As to the National Archives and Confederate Records decision,
I can report only what has been written recently. In Volume 6
of the 1998 "Confederate Veteran" magazine, the current "SCV"
Commander Rick Griffin, reports the following:
"As some of you are aware the National Archives is curtailing
its service of copying Confederate Records. The serivce is to
be continued privately by Broadfoot Publishing Company. Pre-

Still trying to figure out which unit my ancestor Wm L. Blackwell
might have been during the Civil War. His brothers were both in
the 54th. I know the roster is not complete. I do own that reg-
imental history, and was looking at it again today. I did notice
several fellows enlisted in April of 1862 in RICHMOND. William L

We really do need the 1890 Census, however, this was burned in 1921.
At the time, the census schedules were located in the basement of the
Commerce Building in Washington, D. C. Even though the fire was
contained, it flooded the area. The damage was not assessed until the
following day, and it was noted that the census records soaked in the
water overnight outside the protected vault area.
The schedules were dried out, re-copied. But it was impossible to
restore them. So? They should still be intact, yes?
