Listed are the names of the entire Confederate Army (1.5 million names in all), including every soldier from every state at every rank, in a cumulative index. For each soldier, name, highest rank achieved, unit of service, and state are provided. Also provided is essential information for obtaining an actual military service record. Ask at the genealogy desk for more information.
We also provide access to ANCESTRY.COM (Available on the Internet at all branch libraries) . This database is only accessible on public computers located in our libraries.
