Which 2nd Ala. is it that you are interested? There were several:

2nd Ala. Infantry "Magnolia Regiment" [This was a "one year" regiment", formed during the first year of the war.]

2nd Ala. Reserves [Became 63rd Alabama Infantry Regiment.]

2nd Ala. Cavalry

2nd Ala. Artillery Battalion

2nd Ala. Battalion, Hillard' Legion

And then, there was the 2nd Confederate Regiment, which contained a company or companies from Alabama. The one company in this regiment whose origins are not known is Company E.

Get's confusing! The microfilmed NARA records of many of these units are a mess, because whoever did them was confused! But, to help you, we'll need to know which is the one you are looking for which you are wanting info.
