Attempting to find any information on Alfred W Shollenberger Shollenberger-36. His headstone at Greenwood Cemetery in Hamburg, Berks Co, Pennsylvania states he was a Sgt in Us Civil War having served 19th Regiment PA Infantry Co G.
Attempting to locate any military records of Alfred W. I have complete Census records showing him living in Hamburg and moving to Pottsville. I have records such as birth, church records, death certificate of his and family to tie them together. I would assume he joined in Hamburg PA with other Shollenberger family & not traveled to Philadelphia.
What I cannot find are military records- I am coming to assumption he was incorrectly listed as Albert Shollenberger of same unit but no way to prove. Or possibly Alfred W and Albert ‘s unit information was switched on veteran’s burial cards.
I have tried searches with Schuylkill Haven’s records since it is in such close proximity with not much luck.
So much more information hopefully will come out when University of Wilkes publishes transcription of his Civil War Diary. All information and tips will be forwarded to University of Wilkes staff to assist their research! Thank you!
