Re: Can you identify this soldier

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the best bargain and best CW soldier search engine. www.civilwardata.com costs only 25 bucks a year. I went to Personnel, entered Confederate army, louisiana, and the first name Cornelius, and got 71 names. Provide me with possible units, and I'll check for him. Of course, if the company clerk only entered his record with his intials, the search gets more difficult.

Their search engine has proved invaluable to me when I can't read all the letters of a name scribled inside of a cased image. Enter just the first few letters of a surname, and it will find all list all , ie, enter "broad" and you will get broad, broadfoot, broadfield, etc, etc.

I've found CWD's data to be very accurate, and it almost always provides more info than the NPS data. Very good info on units, casualty reports, even some soldier photos. Give it a $10 trial!
