Subject: [MO-CW] RADKE Lorenz; 2nd Missouri L. Art'y
Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2002 20:43:38 -0800


Can anyone help with this? The Civil War CD lists a Lorenz RADKE as
fighting with the 2nd Missouri L. Art'y for the Union (I'm assuming Army),
Company I as a pvt. My g-g-grandfather's name is Lorenz Radke, but he was
in Indiana at the time of the Civil War and his tombstone has Navy written
on it. Number 1, would the referenced record definitely be Army, or could
it be Navy? Number 2, was it possible for men to volunteer/enlist from one
state and end up fighting with another state? Number 3, would it have been
feasible for a volunteer/enlisted man to change from Army to Navy while
fighting the Civil War?

I'm trying to find the muster in and out roll for my g-g grandfather but am
having trouble finding where to write for a copy of the record.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
