The Civil War service records have been transcribed from microfilm copied from the National Archives. I have put payroll, registers, hospital lists, etc. in chronological order.

The early accounts of military service have been excerpted from genealogical texts. For conflicts of the 20th century, what is presented here comes from family members.
