Denise: I've created a postwar database for the 5th Illinois. I have been able to trace 2/3 of the men after the war, so I do have some burial information. We should coordinate and share info and you can reach me offline at
5illinois@gmail.com. I would really like to see the obits you have from the German newspapers--they usually contain an enormous amount of info about the deceased that I could use in my postwar chapter about the 5th Illinois. Hoping to hear from you soon.
