I've come across a site that has a list of links to various Indiana Civil War Rosters, an amazing amount of info is available there. Please take a look at http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Lair/3680/cw/cw-in.html If you had a Hoosier ancestor who served in the Civil War, odds are very good you'll find him on one of these rosters. Happy hunting!
