Compiled Military Service Records (CMSR) are comprised of an envelope with the soldier's name on it, and a certain number
of service cards. These items were created by the United States War Department forty to fifty years AFTER the war (1900's-1910's),
as a means of verifying the service of all "Civil War" / War Between the States soldiers, Union and Confederate. The data on these items was abstracted from original muster rolls, regimental returns,
hospital records, prison records, etc. In the late 1950's and early 1960's, the National Archives microfilmed all these envelopes and cards, and organized them into film rolls for each unit. These
records can be difficult to read, and are often incomplete. However, some of the insightful information you can gain includes: enlistment, clothing issues, pay disbursements, leaves of absence, promotions,
woundings, captures, paroles, extra duty assignments, hospitalizations, discharge, and death.
PLEASE NOTE: These are "official" military service record files.
Any papers that are included in a soldier's file are most often original documents. The majority of papers (especially in
NCO and officer files) are of a non-personal nature like supply requisitions (for the entire company or regiment), or "ordinary" items like pay statements. However, both officers and enlisted
men sometimes have other important handwritten items like: personal requests for leave of absence (or furlough), parole documents, discharges, resignations, death settlement claims, etc.
For avid family history researchers, this is detail you do not want to overlook!

The DIFFERENCE with my product, is it's DIGITAL, not paper! The clarity surpasses standard microfilm printer copies. No more huge 11" X 17" paper copies getting bent up, and no need for a
magnifying glass to read them. You can edit, print, and view each image with any computer. Post the images on your family webpage, e-mail them to others, the choice is yours. The images are on CD,
which will last (provided you do not use it as a drink coaster).
Each item is individually scanned (@ 24 bit, 2700 dpi resolution), saved as an uncompressed, non-altered .tiff image, then burned to CD.
Here are four "average" examples (record envelope,
service card, service card, original document):
Because authenticity matters, I will not alter the scans in any way from what exactly appears on the film. You can edit them as many times as you like. The originals will always remain "original"
on the CD itself. |
