Alabama, USA, mönstringsrullor från inbördeskriget, 1861-1865

Dessa rullor avser enheter i sydstatsarmén som formerades i Alabama under inbördeskriget, men många av dessa kom att operera utanför delstaten beroende på hur kriget förlöpte. Registren innehåller rullor för infanteri, kavalleri, artilleri, reserverna, flottan, marinen och även regementen från andra delstater. Mönstringsrullorna utgör ett "upprop" för en militär enhet vid en speciell plats och tidpunkt. Både officerare och meniga registrerades, men även andra såsom sårade, sjuka, de på permission eller de som var frånvarande av andra orsaker ingår.

Muster Rolls

Muster rolls provide a “roll call” for a military unit at a specified place and time. Both officers and enlisted men are listed, and often wounds, sickness, leave status, or other reasons for men being away from the unit are included.

About these Records

These rolls are for Confederate units formed in Alabama during the Civil War—though many operated outside of the state over the course of the war. The records include rolls for infantry, cavalry, artillery, reserves, navy, marines, and even out-of-state regiments. They typically include:

Name
Ranks
Locations
Unit
Commanding officer
Date the roll was taken
Age
Enlistment and payroll information
