Men Of The United States Regiments.

There were thousands of men in the service and hundreds of regiments so I could only pick a few of these good men. The reason I pick these men was of the good information that was behind the name. As a surname researcher the name is the most important thing but unless you have some information to go with it, its useless. All the names here will give you a good lead into your family’s members history.

Bad book keeping?

As I research for names I found many names were put on the records as being deserted from their regiment. But later the charges were drop as it was found that they had been sick, captured or killed. Many times the Commanding officer would make out a report and sent it on to head-quarters but when the rider got where the head-quarters was to be, he found it had moved some where else. Many records were captured in battle and lost so when you find a record that states that your family member had deserted do not believe it till you have all the records you can get, even then there will always be the question if it was true. I also found that many men were commission to a higher rank but were never mustered into service. Many men would serve at the higher rank for many years and only to be paid at their lower rank and it would take an act of Congress to set it right. You may have a family story that states that GG-grandfather was a colonel or what ever but the records says other wise, so again its important get all the records you can find you never know the next one may sit every thing right.
