Info

not filmed unless it contained additional information. The numbers and dates were stamped on the cards for control purposes at the time the compiled records were prepared. Later, notations were made on some jackets to Indicate that clothing rolls of the units were extant. Card abstracts were prepared from information on these rolls and filed with compiled records of individual soldiers but not in the jacket-envelopes reproduced on this microfilm publication. Preceding the jacket-envelopes of most units are empty envelopes on which are listed the names of officers of the unit or, occasionally, only the name of the commanding officer. The letter "C" and the numbers H l" and "2," which follow names of officers, indicate the grades of captain, first lieutenant, and second lieutenant, respectively. The lists often include dates on which units were called into service and mustered out; dates of deaths, promotions, resignations, or retirements of officers; and information relating to consolidations, transfers, disbandments, or other changes in the organization of units. A stamp reading "All rolls filed herewith" appears on some of the lists, but no rolls are now filed with the lists. Similarly, the notation "For references see inside," which appears on some lists, should be disregarded as there are now no reference sheets in the envelopes. Lists of officers were prepared for many State militia units that were not mustered into service and for other organizations for which |jto rolls were found. These lists are filed under "Miscellaneous" and appear at the end of records of State units and at the end of records of units raised directly by the Confederacy. With a few exceptions no lists were prepared for units from North Carolina. Most of the compiled records reproduced in this microfilm publication are arranged alphabetically by State, thereunder by type of unit (cavalry, artillery, and infantry), followed by reserve, militia, local defense, conscript, prison guard, instruction, or other organizations. The table of contents was prepared from caption cards; the information in parentheses or brackets consists of other names by which units were known and related information. The arrangement of compiled records for units raised directly or otherwise formed by the Confederate government is similar excent that the latter units are not broken down by State. The National Archives has compiled records of Confederate soldiers who served in units whose histories are reproduced in this microfilm publication. There are also card indexes to help locate the compiled service records of Confederate soldiers. All the records and the related indexes have been microfilmed. The archivist responsible for the preparation of this microfilm publication is Geraldine N. Phillips.
