Hayes,

I've got an ancestor who is defying all of my attempts to find him after years and years of searching. The source below was recommended by a state archivist. Apparently the compiling of the service records just stopped at some point. Lack of funding, World War or something. Apparently these files are extensive.

Another possibility is casualty lists in local newspapers. I found out about a paper in Huntsville today called the Huntsville Daily Confederate that printed the casualties of the 26th/50th AL at Chickamauga. There's always hope!
