Militia records are valuable for finding military personnel who may have served during peacetime. The New York State Library has the ''Annual Report of the Adjutant General''. 192 Volumes. (Albany, New York: State printers, 1832–1962; 1868, 1886, and 1889 in FHL book 974.7 M2n; 1865 on film 1000223 item 3). The reports give the names of commissioned officers serving in the militia (later the National Guard). The reports do not list officers and men in the regular U.S. Army and Navy. They give name and rank. The lists of commissioned officers do not give residences. The published reports are not indexed. | Militia records are valuable for finding military personnel who may have served during peacetime.
