Ms. Poag,

There are no known "Group" wartime photos of the 39th Georgia. I have several wartime photos of individuals and they are posted on my website (link below) and press the button on the left of the homepage labeled "Photographs." You will see several at different time periods during the war.

The Compiled Military Service Record (CMSR) is a compilation of reference and original documents. The individual cards reference an original document that has several or numerous names that pertain to different individuals. For example, a Company Muster Roll will have approximately 110 soldiers names on it. The War Department Clerk (post-war, late 1800's) would take one of the cards and write the proper reference material at the top and put the pertinent data on it (i.e. Company Muster Roll, January- March 1864, dated April 1864, Present, Absent, Deserted, etc.) for that individual soldier.

I am not sure the reference you stated in your previous post. Where did you find it referenced? I am not sure if it from the "Official Records of the War of the Rebellion" or a note you may have found on one of the cards in the CMSR.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Respectfully,
