Soldier Research

Thanks to everyone that helped with the question I posed on the 3rd VA infantry and the 4th/34 regts. This has helped in some ways, but then also brought up new issues for me concerning a soldier I am researching. I am trying to get the service history of a one James E. (Believed to be Edward) Byrd. I have been informed that he initially served in the 3rd VA, then ended up in the 4th Heavy Arty, and then finished the war with the 34th Infantry. Based upon the previous postings on this site, I have been able to capture information supporting the 4th/34th issue; however I cannot find anything out about him with the 3rd. I know I can buy the books recommended, and I am certainly going to do that for the 4th and 34th Regts, but I didn't want to spend $25.00 to $40.00 just to find out that there is no record of him being in the 3rd VA Inf. Any help in figuring this issue out would be greatly appreciated! Thanks much.
Allen
