Union service records have not been microfilmed and are available only at the National Archives as manuscript files. Copies of pre-1917 military service records can be requested from the National Archives by using [http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/pre-ww-1-records.html NATF Form 86]. To order a service record you must have the soldier's name, rank and unit number. The indexes below will help you find that information.
 
Service records were made from muster rolls, pay lists, hospital records, and record books that have not been filmed. Some of these sources, such as the hospital registers, often give detailed information, such as birthplace.
