Civil War records contain valuable information for genealogical research. The information linked below for each individual shows full name, rank, unit served and enlistment date. This information is sufficient to request either Service Records or Pension Files from the National Archives. In some cases you will find the same individual listed more than once. When the Civil War began, many thought it would only last 90 days, so the first units organized were for very short duration, 100 days to 1 year. After these units were dissolved and the men discharged, the units were reorganized and many men re enlisted for 3 years. There were also many cases of men being discharged for disability due to disease, subsequently recovering and re enlisting in another unit.
