Mad4Mud, thanks, I didn't know that about WV not being recognised and I wondered why that site directed me to just VA rosters. I will go back and take a better look now that I know that. Thanks!

Dicho, I hadn't noticed that about NY and IL. I have no idea why they are not included. You'd have to email the site admins and ask, I guess, but it is curious, isn't it? Maybe they just don't have the info put in, yet? Also, thanks for the music info.

KimC, thanks, I have just started to look into this one this week and found the Natl. archives; will check with them and the local ones.Thanks.

Anyone know any pertinent things about looking up vets of the War of 1812? That's my next project as I found written evidence that ancestors on both sides of the family were vets of that one, too, probably like most of us who've come from way back when through the years, eh?

Thanks very much. I really appreciate it.
