California Civil War Rosters

Transcription Project

�Records of California Men in the War of the Rebellion, 1861 to 1867�
by Brig.-Gen. Richard H. Orton, pub. 1890

This transcription project is only possible with the efforts of several volunteers generously donating their time to make these rosters available online for individual researchers. 

Permission is given to the California State Military Museum to copy some of these files for their website.  You may find helpful information on that site in relation to forts mentioned in General Orton's book. Their site contains a wealth of data in regard to California's military history.

No other information is available on any of these veterans.  The complete book is online.

The California Division United Daughters of the Confederacy

has a project to locate as many Confederates in California as possible. I currently have a database with about 1600 names of Confederates who were in California following the War.  If your Confederate ancestor was in California, I would like to know about it.  I will do database look ups if you submit Name, location in California and dates the ancestor was in California.  Please no more than 5 names at one time.

 
Confederate veterans are eligible for Free Government Headstones, so if your ancestor does not have a marker I will be happy to tell you how to obtain the markers. 

The place to start is http://www.cem.va.gov/

The marker is free, however, you will need to contact the cemetery where the ancestor is buried to determine whether they will charge you to place the headstone.

 
If you are surveying a cemetery and you find Confederates in that cemetery, I would appreciate hearing from you.  Your help is greatly appreciated.
