Someone
helping Virginia Crilley with the TAYLOR COUNTY Confederate History gave this
information which probably would apply to every GA COUNTY..
"When
the Taylor County militia was re-organized in late ‘63 early ‘64, eligible men
and boys were duly recorded (by name, age in years and months, and listing
whether they owned a rifle or shotgun, its condition, and whether they owned a
horse and tack).
These
rosters are organized by GMD (Ga. Militia District), just like the 1860 Census,
so are easily searched. They are on microfilm at the Ga. Dept. of Archives and
History (microfilm series 245, reel is either #9 or #10 [alphabetical by
county]). You may wish to obtain them from GDAH (prob. costs $10-15, max), and
copy onto the Web page.
Typically,
a complete county roster comprises no more than 5-10 pages.
Anyone
wishing the Compiled Military Service Record of a Georgia soldier can obtain it
from the GDAH, simply by giving the soldier’s name—they’ll find it in their
Index, then look up (alpha by regt.) on microfilm, and copy the records. It’s a
10-minute process, and they do it all the time. They can do it for anyone who
served in Rucker’s Company ["Taylor Infantry"] of the 5th
State Guard."

Here are two addresses to write for records of
relatives who have served in the armed forces.

Most
veterans at the time of discharge are advised to file their DD Form 214,
Discharge form in the county courthouse where they reside, this is usually a
free service and the certified copies provided are as good as the original for
the purposes of processing federally guaranteed loans, VA loans and Disability
claims, etc.
Many
counties file them with Birth, Marriage, Divorce and Death records.
This
document lists the periods of service, place of enlistment or commissioning,
date of birth, SSAN if one exists, place of discharge, last known address at
time of discharge, medals awarded.
Many
states have a veteran’s affairs office as well that may assist you in obtaining
military records.
The
National Personnel Records Center (NPRC), a branch of the National Archives and
Records Service is the official government repository for personnel records of
former members of the U.S. military and former civilian employees. The facility
housing military records is located at 9700 Page Boulevard, St. Louis, MO.
63132.
The key to
reconstructing military data is to get enough specific information from the
veteran to allow the Center personnel to search the available alternate
sources. The information normally required is:
1. Full name used during service
2. Branch of service
3. Approximate dates of service
4. Service number
5. Place of discharge
6. Last unit of assignment
7. Place of entry into service
