Confederate Records
Order Form

It is estimated that approximately twenty percent (20%) of the approximately 1,000,000 Confederate Soldiers who fought for "the Cause" are undocumented due to the loss and destruction Confederate Records caused by the the ravages of war and the destruction of Southern institutions.  Those records which do survive are in many different states of condition.  You may be fortunate enough to find a complete and non-fragmented record for your ancestor and we will do everything possible to assist you; however, some records were very limited, sketchy and were difficult to read for the 1930's era compilers of these National Archives documents.  Generally, Union records are far more extensive than those of the Southern soldiers as the institutions responsible for the storage and preservation of these materials remained intact.

You may strike a "goldmine" of information in the records retrieved for your Confederate soldier; however, this is not always the case.  Your best chance for complete information is most likely available if you purchase both the Compiled Military Service Record, the Veteran's/Widow's Pension Record and the "Smart Search" service provided by our researchers. 


Confederate Soldier Record Research Services

Compiled Service Record: $26.95 + 2.00 S&H

This search REQUIRES the name of the soldier and the unit in which he served.  Additional information, including birth date, birthplace, wife's name and any relatives who served with him can be helpful if you know this information.

You will receive a copy of the complete service record. The price includes 20 copies, which is usually more than sufficient for a Confederate service record. Additional copies, if required, will be billed at 40 cents per copy.**

A shipping and handling charge of $2.00 will be added to all requests for Confederate compiled service records.

*If the soldier's unit (regiment, battalion, battery, etc.) is not known, we can conduct a search of the Confederate indexes to try and identify his unit for an additional fee. Contact us for more information.

**Copy prices may seem high, but the copies are made from microfilm and the microfilm copiers are more expensive than document copiers.
