Thank you for your response. I, too, am a re-enactor who, due to recent physical challenges, no longer is fit for "field duty." I hope to hear from Mike and be able to share information with him.

I note from an earlier post of your that you seem to have "rosters" of the V.R.C. Do you mean that you have actual muster lists, or just the listing of V.R.C. units from Dwyer's compendium of Union Civil War Regiments? In another related project, I was able to secure the actual muster rolls for units (IL Adjutant General's Reports), but have only been able to obtain short unit histories from Dwyer's; no actual muster rolls with individual's names. Did your listing of rosters include individual's names and towns, etc. ? If so, could you provide me with this information or how you obtained same, so that I may conduct a similar search? Thanks, it would be much appreciated!
