Joanne,
In regards to your MO civil war ancestor's EMM record, you can access it
through the MO State Archives. I found them thoroughly by accident and they
are probably the most helpful and diligent group of people that I have dealt
with for a long time.
Just email them what you are looking for. Give them as much info as you can
and they will search their records. I received the EMM card file copies for
my ancestors and after getting them, I was able to send them the regiment
info for each person and they sent a copy of the muster rolls for them. The
cost is minimal....I think it was only about $2 for what I received. Just
give them time and be patient as it may take about 6-8 weeks to get the
info. If they are able to find the information, it is well worth the wait.
You can contact them through the regular mail or through their website. The
contact info is listed below. Good Luck!
Anita

> "The two objects for which the battle of Belmont was fought were fully
accomplished. The enemy gave up all idea of detaching troops from Columbus.
His losses were very heavy for that period of the war. Columbus was beset by
people looking for their wounded or dead kin, to take them home for medical
treatment or burial. I learned later, when I had moved further south, that
Belmont had caused more mourning than almost any other battle up to that
time. The National troops acquired a confidence in themselves at F Belmont
that did not desert them through the war."
