Homer,

Doesn't this sound like they generated the computer file directly from the 3 x 5 cards?

I wonder if these parole records on 3 x 5 cards or whatever, exist separately from the Compiled Service Records?

I'll try emailing NARA and see what they can tell me.

Jim


This is taken from the Vicksburg NMP website:

"The Confederate Parole records which are listed in this section were transcribed many years ago onto 3" x 5" note cards. The information was again transcribed into computer files for use on this website. It is the only information the park has in its files relating to soldiers that were paroled after the surrender of Vicksburg."
