If you've got an ancestry.com account, they give a pretty deep discount for fold3. <br /><br />The Civil War research comes from a few different areas. Back in 1901, Walter Clark (former CSA soldier from NC) compiled a 5 volume set of regimental histories told by the soldiers. You can free PDF downloads of many of these histories. You may be lucky enough to find a few of the volumes that were reprinted in the 1980's. The North Carolina Troop Books from the State Archives are also really helpful. <br /><br />Hope this helps!<br /><br />ChipChip Stokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16525594426426999048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530420201386704027.post-7348869152419466442013-09-06T00:11:10.695-04:002013-09-06T00:11:10.695-04:00Chip, I found your blog in my search for an ancest...Chip, I found your blog in my search for an ancestor who I think was in the 61st regiment, NC infantry. I don't know the company. I just want to read more about his company and I'm new to my genealogy search. Where do you find all this info and documents? mommajett@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12234804373600139854noreply@blogger.com
