Thank you. So far, I have not found evidence of parole records in the CSR's for men at Kingston. I have for many other locations but not Kingston. Kingston had a significant number (3,000-4,000+) that surrendered. This is in the O.R. and a number of other references. The question is where do the rolls currently exist if they exist at all at this point in time.

As the young people say, "been there, done that," at the NARA. I have been to the NARA numerous times and will be going there more in the near future. So far, myself nor anyone else that I know have not been able to locate the registry. However, if a copy of the registry exists then "normally" that annotation would have made it into the CSRs.

There are a couple of places that I want to check more thoroughly at the NARA but in the interim I am launching this effort to begin the analysis of the situation.

I believe I am familiar with Ms. DeeAnn Blanton. If I am correct, she is the subject matter expert on the Records of the United States Army Continental Commands (1821-1920). Her cubical is a hard right after you enter the manuscripts order room. She has helped me with some other stuff back in November.

Thank you again.
