What The Rosters Didn't Say.

When one is looking for a ancestor or a name interest who was a soldier in the Civil War. We begin by looking for his regiment roster. Now these rosters give us some information which is important to know to be sure, but for the most part their incomplete. It’s not the fault of the researcher, it comes down to the lack space. Because of the lack of space we are face with jumping from web site to web site, looking for more information.

Some of us will give up after finding the same information over and over again. There are many web sites that could be a gold mine of information if you just keep looking and don’t give up. Case in point is the following information.

This information come from the records of the Seventh Pennsylvania Cavalry. I will cover all companies, but here again because of the lack space I will only pick a few names of interest from each company. I well first give the information from the roster, then in a ( note ) I will add the information that was not found on the rosters.

Authors Note.

As I stated in the beginning I was limited to space and would only pick a few names from each company. There are still hundreds of names to research, so if you didn’t find your ancestor or name of interest, I will be gald to look your name up on request, and you can by the following address. dsegelquist1@cox.net

Most of the names not only give their military record, They also give the place of residence and the date of their of death and place of their burial . Now all will not have this extra information but many will.
