Confederate Service Records Available Online

Gary, Thanks for the update.

One of my favorite websites is http://www.footnote.com/ This is a subscription service, however, you can look at their index and also you can look at some of the records they have posted. The cost is $59.00 per year; I think you can get a trial subscription for about 1 week if you are interested.

They currently are placing the Confederate service records on line. These are the National Archives Microfilm Records!

Their on line index : Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Missisisippi, North Carolina, South CArolina, Tennessee Texas and Virginia... Not all states are complete, but they do give you the percentage of records on line.

You can browse the index and look for the man you want, then if you find him you can down load and or print the service record if you have a subscription. If you don't have a subscription you can at least look at the index.

So if you are paying 40 or 50 dollars to get service records, you should check out this website first to see what they have on line.....
