Georgia Civil War Soldiers Index - This index is the "heart" of the state site listing the soldiers who fought from the state and their unit and company of service. You can click on the soldier's name to drill down to a brief history of his unit and a bibliography showing what books and CDs are available for further research.
Our index differs from the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors Index by about 3 percent. We "manage" our index to add new names as they are found and add first names / combine records for obvious alternate spellings and correct errors when they are found whereas he CWSS index reflects the original work done in the early 1900s by the National Archives. It is important to remember to look up all the variations when researching at the National Archives as each variation in spelling points to another packet envelope of information. The indexes at Ancestry and Fold3 are similarly unmanaged.
Broadfoot's Index is also a managed index, but it was generally set in the early 1990s when their books were published, thus not reflecting more recent research and materials uncovered since the advent of the internet.
