Additions to Veterans’ List – N, O, P. & Q

Posted By Norman Gasbarro on June 8, 2013

Veterans of the Civil War identified as having some connection to the Lykens Valley area and included in the Civil War Research Project was last updated 19 April 2012. In a series of posts continuing intermittently until concluding in mid-June, a brief sketch of each of the new names added since then will be presented. Note that in a few cases, the persons are not veterans, but have been identified with some Civil War event or are related to a Civil War veteran. At the conclusion of the listing of these added names, the Veterans list will be updated with the new names, re-alphabetized, and presented in a new format which includes the Project File Number for each individual.

Additional information is sought on each of the individuals in the Veterans’ List. Comments can be added to the blog post or information can be sent by e-mail. Of particular interest are stories, pictures, military records, pension information, and genealogies.

Abbreviations: CW# = Civil War Research Project File Number. MI = Mustered In. MO = Mustered Out. NARA = National Archives and Records Administration Microfilm Series and Roll Number. POW = Prisoner of War. AKA = Also Known As. Months are abbreviated with the standard 3-letter abbreviation.

Civil War Records in the Published Schuylkill County Archives Series – Volume 2

Posted By Norman Gasbarro on June 5, 2013

Today’s blog post provides information on Volume 2 of a series of books published beginning in 1995 by Closson Press, titled Schuylkill County Pennsylvania Archives. In all, three volumes were published through 1996. The series was based on genealogical research done by: Phillip A. Rice, a specialist in church and cemetery records; Jean A. Dellock, a specialist in courthouse and census records; and Dr. Glenn P. Schwalm, a noted researcher and authority on early German-American records. The records included in the series were edited and compiled mainly by Rice and Dellock, with written permission from Dr. Schwalm where his material was included. Each volume contains a variety of items including cemetery lists, mining reports, and church records. Each volume also contains a significant amount of material related to the study of Civil War veterans and military regiments and companies from Schuylkill County. There is a surname index that is included for each volume.

The three volumes are available for sale by Closson Press: Volume 1; Volume 2; Volume 3.

Volume 2 includes the following items (note that specific Civil War items and items related to specific communities within the geographic area of study for the Civil War Research Project are presented in boldface type):
