You know, I love specialized genealogy resources. They just make me all happy inside. What a sad individual I am. This database contains information on about 250,000 veterans. Searching is simple.
Results appear in a table that provides the name, rank, company, unit, and residence.
The information, as you can see, is rather sparse. However, this site also offers Illinois Civil War Regiment and Unit Histories as a downloadable PDF document. Instructions for requesting official documentation of the veterans from the Illinois State Archives is also included. Available Version 36 of the Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography is now available. If you're into PDF files, you need to know about this.
