Spence, I noticed that in another post from you on this site, you state that the records were destroyed in a fire. While this for the most part is true, this ONLY relates to personnel records, NOT the army records for the units.
You will need to contact NARA in St Louis and NARA in College Park, Maryland. You CAN retrieve any records from these facilities, but for a cost. You can write to them and see what they have. When they contact you with any information they may have, then you have the following options:
- Go there yourself and copy the info
- Have them copy info for you - this is limited though
- Hire a college research assistant
- Or hire a private researcher
I hired a private researcher to begin the work for me right now. She is currently copying info from College Park for me.
