New York, USA, Auszüge aus den Musterungslisten des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs, 1861-1900

Diese Sammlung enthält Musterungsrollenauszüge der Infanterieeinheiten des Bundesstaates New York, die im amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg dienten. Die Aufzeichnungen stammen von Mikrofilmen der New York-Staatsarchive und enthalten 550.000 Aufzeichnungen in 395 Bänden. Am Anfang der Regimentaufzeichnung gibt es Informationen über das Regiment und evtl. eine detaillierte Geschichte der Einheit. Die einzelnen Aufzeichnungen können den Namen, das Datum der Einberufung, das Alter, den Ort der Einberufung, den Grad, die Kompanie, das Regiment, den Grund der Entlassung, Beförderungen, die Teilnahme an Engagements, Verwundungen und eine Beschreibung des Aussehens enthalten.

This collection contains abstracts compiled from original muster rolls for New York State infantry units involved in the Civil War. The records have personal enlistment information and military service, as well as regiment engagements. The personal record and unit information makes the collection valuable to anyone with New York ancestors in the Civil War era.

A New York state law passed in 1863 required a record be made and preserved with pertinent information of every New Yorker who had volunteered for service. In 1876, New York authorized funds to copy the muster-out rolls, which is where this collection came from. It consists of 395 volumes and contains 550,000 records, which are contained on microfilm housed in the New York State Archives.

The beginning of each regiment record has information on the regiment including the commanding officers. In a few of the abstracts, a detailed history of the unit also appears. The abstracts are printed forms, which were completed by hand, so the regiment’s information will have to be browsed for or searched by regiment. Records may contain:

Name
Date of enlistment
Age
Place of enlistment
Grade
Company
Regiment
Reason for leaving
Promotions
Participation in engagements
Wounds
Physical appearance
