I've enjoyed reading the posts lately, very informative. Today I went to
a Genealogical library where they have book after book on the Civil War.
I looked through the indexes of "Roll of Honor" where soldiers are
buried at Natl. Cememteries. I looked at indexes for "War of the
Rebellion" which are official records of reports and Correspondence. I
didn't see my Columbus Lafayette Day or his brothers, Moses, James, or
Richard. I do have some luck with Ancestry.com but there are so many
soldiers by these names I don't know which one is mine. What do I do
now? These Confederate boys all came from Franklin Co. Tennessee, but I
think they enlisted somewhere else. I've already looked at the Natl.
Park Service Web site. Shouldn't I know more before I write the Natl
Archives? Denise in IL
