These microfilm listings are to obtain ROSTER records, "NOT" Military records.

The National Archives Soldier Record Records are stored on reels of microfilm and as such, are indexed by microfilm Box, Roll and Record. In order to request your ancestors roster records from the National Archives, you will need the index numbers and are read in the following examples.

Microfilm EXAMPLE:

Box Roll Record
000390 0001 00002746

Complete EXANPLE:

Box Roll Record Other Info On Card Box Roll Record Other Info On Card
Anderson William E. 000390 0001 00002813 Co. "F" 000390 0001 00002808 Co. "A"

In the Complete EXAMPLE, the first set of three numbers represent the 14th MSM and the last three set of numbers represent the 4th or 8th MSM, whichever applies to the Company transfer when the 14th was disbanded.

In the associated “INDEX” pages, errors can be found in the listings of the soldiers name by either First Name, Middle Initial or Last Name. Additionally, errors have been made in the archives listing of the Company the soldier was enrolled. It should be understood that the original transcribers of these records had to work from “Hand Written” documents from the actual Regimental records of the 1860's. If the writer of the original records scribbled a Company “Letter” or places a loop or swirl at the end of a name, the transcriber may have taken that loop or swirl as the letter “E”. Therefore, if the soldiers last name was “BOON”, a record for “BOONE” may and has been found in the archives records. In most cases, both spellings are actually just one soldier, not two different soldiers.
