I have the CD "Roll of Honor, Civil War Union Soldiers", issued by the
National government listing all Union soldiers buried in National
Cemeteries. It gives several pieces of information in addition to where
they are buried. I found a burial site this evening for a THOMAS-List
fellow subscriber, and it occurs to me I might be able to help many with
this CD.
So, any Yankee descendants, I would be willing to look up your Civil War
heroes for you.

Today I located the grave of William Robert Cain who served with the
29th
Alabama in Company I (from Covington Co., AL) in the Oakland Cemetery in
downtown Atlanta, GA. There is a large confederate section. Most of
the
graves are marked with whatever information was available at the time of
death. There are also some "unknowns". Anyone looking for this
cemetery, it
is at the corner of Martin Luther King and Oakland streets. MLK
actually
deadends right into the cemetery. It is just a few blocks from the GA
State
Archives and the state capital building. Exit 93 or 94 off I-75.
There is an office staffed until 5:00 p.m. There is a list (alpha) so
if you
are ever in Atlanta check it out to see if any of your folks might be
there.
