Confederate Regiments
Many of our ancestors fought for the Confederacy in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. Below are their names and links to information about the regiments in which they served. I have added links to other sites featuring CSA regiment information to help others in their quest for their Confederate kin. More will be added as I find them. Please email me if you know of some particularly good sites I can add here.
