INTRODUCTION 

  This is a work in progress regarding the research of the Somerset County Men 
and Women involved in the Civil War. As new information is located it will be 
available to the Somerset County Archives website and the Meyersdale Public 
Library.
  All information is spelled as it is found. If there is information for persons 
with identical names which cannot be clearly attributed to one of those persons, 
there is a separate entry for that name with that information. We did not 
combine names with information unless we were certain that such information 
pertained to a specific individual. 
  

HELP
  
  Check any possible spellings of the name you are researching. Examples: 
Zerfoss/Cerfoss; Zuick/Cick; Critchfield/Scritchfield; Bauman/Bowman.

  Ages: Age is listed as it is found. Ages are often misrepresented by minors at 
enlistment. We have found at least one where the kid said he was 18 when he 
enlisted, but in fact he was 15. We're not going to try to correct this kind of 
thing, but want to call attention to the fact that the age is often 
misrepresented and could be incorrect.
