Germantown Civil War Soldiers

In this portal you will find the individuals who were identifed with a residence of Germantown
in the book Roster of Wisconsin Volunteers, War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865 (RWV).
Names were obtained by visually scanning the two books 1,808 pages, page by page.
The residence of quite a few individuals were not identified.
Later, those that died in service were checked against the book Wisconsin In The War Of The
Rebellion and when conflicting information was found, an asterisk (*) was added to the surname.
If you wish to look up a name in the RWV, go here

Once you found your soldier using the below list, you might be interested in what the person may have done while in service. The best we can do to help you at this time is for you to identify the regiment the individual served in (see column UNIT) such as 1st Calvery, 36th Infantry, 1st Heavy Artillery and then read the regiment's history paying particular attention to the time person in which your soldier served. While this will not tell you what exactly your soldier did, it will tell you in which engagements the regiment participated in when your soldier served with them.

(1) - DC=discharged, DS=died in service, MO=mustered out, WA=deserted, NCR=avoided service
* = identifies conflicting information recorded
