Mr. Wilkerson,
I would be glad to aid you in your search. What I need is your family sir
names and where they were located at the time of the war. I have the
"Broadfoot Publishing Co. CD which lists most of the men who served the
Confederacy. Unfortunately it does not give any family information, but will
list men by the State from which they served. If I have the full names of
your ancestors, it would help. Given the names to look up, I will be happy to
send you the names of the men which fit the general criteria. From there you
can check for pension records in the state archives where the ancestor lived
in his later life. That usually will help you to place him in your individual
family.
If I can help you further, I will be happy to do so.
