(See below for addresses.) The Civil War Units File (CWUNITS) lists people who have information on a unit, ship, or group (often rosters, battles, etc.) and are willing to help others research it. Some are experts; most are "just" helpful fellow researchers. If you see a listing for a unit you are interested in, you can send the contact person email and share information. There are also listings for battles, organizations, counties, ethnic groups, etc. If you write to me, please do *NOT* include this message in your reply. My time and disk space are limited. Also please do *NOT* include attached files. Thanks! The following addresses no longer work and we were unable to find the people, so their listings have been deleted. If you are one of these people or know how to contact one, please email me. rohrerm@wpgate.hqpacaf.af.mil Windlite@tco.net (John Patchin) CWUNITS is five files (plus one for the FAQ) as follows: Part Filename Contents 1 CWUNITS1 USA national & states A-I 2 CWUNITS2 USA states K-N 3 CWUNITS3 USA states O-W 4 CWUNITS4 CSA national & states A-M 5 CWUNITS5 CSA states N-V Q CWUNITSQ FAQ -- frequently asked questions and answers Parts 1-5 include the intro as well as the listings. Within a state the units are organized by number (1st Infantry, etc.). The Civil War Units File is on the American Civil War Homepage: http://sunsite.utk.edu/civil-war/warweb.html under the heading Rosters & Regimental Histories. I don't run this site. You can get the latest version of CWUNITS by email at any time: Send email to ROOTS-L-request@rootsweb.com (Upper and lower case count in the email address and everywhere else.) Subject: archive Text is: get genealog.cwunits1 get genealog.cwunits2 get genealog.cwunitsq etc. The period (.) has to be after genealog and before the file name. To get a listing of all of the ROOTS-L files, send the command get roots-l.catalog Another way to obtain files is via anonymous ftp. To do this, ftp to ftp.rootsweb.com using "anonymous" (withOUT quotes!) as your username and your net address as your password. Issue the command: cd /pub/roots-l/genealog/ You may issue a dir command to see a listing of files, use ctrl-s to temporarily halt the dir command, and ctrl-q to resume the dir command. The command for retrieving a file via ftp is: get genealog.filename substituting, of course, the proper filename for "filename" above. Notice the PERIOD between "genealog" and the filename. Then issue a quit command to exit. Questions and new listings for the CWUNITS file go to me at botteron@alum.mit.edu Please do _not_ send me attachments.
