Research Notes and Page Updates

• This page was created in Sep 2022 as a way to organize profiles and research on the United States Civil War and the involvement of Harrison Countians. If you have suggestions or would like to participate, please feel free to comment below or contact the page manager.
• Currently, profiled soldiers on WikiTree are being added to the lists as found. Inclusion in the lists here is not a confirmation of service, as some profiles have minimal sources attached. Adding more thorough sourcing to these profiles is on the to-do list.
• Primary areas for profile creation are for the 40th Kentucky Mounted Infantry, Company G. A page to organize creation of profiles for USCT soldiers in the GoogleSheet listed above is under development.
• A separate page has been developed for an extensive USCT list 8 Feb 23.
