Seventies: ok
Selma: Is that something at National Archives?
Seventies: Regimental History or Regimental Records??
Selma: Ok..there is a difference...good..Regimental Records that name soldiers?
Seventies: Regimental Records consist of a few different things. Morning Reports, Descriptive Rolls (names the soldiers) and a book of orders can't recall the name, but I have used in the past.
Daviss: oops
Seventies: Morning Reports are like the day to day operations of the Regiments... oh oh.
Selma: Hit the wrong button
Daviss: wb Sel
Seventies: ok
Selma: Does it give any other specific info on the soldier..place of birth etc...
Seventies: Descriptive rolls do.
Selma: Is this info online? or at National Archives, or on microfilm available on inter library loan
Seventies: A good descriptive roll will give the name, age, place of birth, place & who enlisted and if you are lucky the name of the last known slave owner and where they lived
Selma: This info is for klassic...
Seventies: Selma, the only information that I've seen online for those types of records are the Ancestry records for KY...
alt: there is a 'compendium" of regimental records that AYW & Bennie frequently reference .. is it? http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A2001.05.0146
Seventies: No ILL or microfilm as these are the original record books.
Selma: Hopefully klassic will find a good descriptive roll..cause her guy lists 4 different states as POB
Daviss: what regiment is she researching Selma
alt: click on the link I posted and then go to your particular state(s) and there is a "file" of regimental records for each unit mustered in for the state.
Seventies: Also just a note in the case of my ancestors there were some unit changes. They may have switched names or units. Definitely should check that.
Selma: Mustered in in TN..2nd Regiment Co. B Heavy Artillery (changed to 4th Regiment)
Seventies: okay she should reference both of those Regimental records.
Selma: He mustered in at Island 10..Bennie said that is outside of Memphis I found a history of the Regiment on line
Seventies: Also she can check RG105... and all of the MS also as sometimes the info overlaps... :}
Selma: Ah...my favorite
vkn: Bennie will be on Bernice in March
Seventies: Yes indeed. It would be great to do a project where that buffer area is documented.
Selma: Oh great...I will have to really try to stay awake.. LOL
Seventies: lol Have some herbal tea Selma... How about Vanilla Root??? Heard that ha some good caffeine in it.
Daviss: ooooooh nice site on that link alt

Daviss: ok back I think
Selma: Hello sarnold welcome to the LunchBunch chat
vkn: Howdy sarnold and welcome
sarnold: Is this the Genealogy room?
Seventies: Yes one of them.
Selma: yes it is sarnold
vkn: That be we sarnold
sarnold: I want to make you all aware of a project we recently launched.
Seventies: Who?
sarnold: Fordham University
Seventies: Oh okay.
vkn: okies spill the beans sarnold
sarnold: We would love for you to spread the word.
Selma: Give us the details..
sarnold: www.vanishinghistory.org
Selma: Ok..so give us an overview...
sarnold: We are collecting info from the public on the location of burial grounds of enslaved african americans.
Seventies: I don't live too terribly far from Fordham. Is this an online project only or would I be able to go to the campus and access records.
alt: clicked and bookmarked the site sarnold
Selma: Locations in the whole country or just the NYC area?
sarnold: the United States
Seventies: ok
sarnold: we want to create a National Burial Registry for these sites.
Seventies: I can think of two off the top of my head...
sarnold: Great!
Daviss: I hope you will post the link on the Gen and Hist forum located here sarnold
alt: nice format for submission sarnold, questions asked should be very informative when/if answered
Seventies: Now this would be kind of like what was done with the Wheat African Burial ground in TN??
Selma: Have you had any submissions yet sarnold?
sarnold: somewhat
Selma: Are there any near the campus?
Seventies: sarnold, so you all are crowdsourcing this project?
sarnold: The website needs to promoted. People need to know about the project - which will help submissions.
Seventies: ok just asking. 
alt: I would imagine you are also interested in cemeteries involving FPOC sarnold.
sarnold: However, without being project the website has received submission weekly since it launched on Feb. 1, 2013. FPOC?
Seventies: Free People of Color.
alt: free persons of color..... my special area of research is Ohio pre Civil War and there are many cemteries where free blacks were buried in 'private & church' cemeteries.
Selma: You have some very well known professors on the team...Blakley, Eltis..gonna look for Rainville's book in 2014
sarnold: Yes. We are interested in burial grounds, burial sites of those who died while enslaved or those who were born enslaved and died after emancipation.
Seventies: LOL That's a lot of people..
Selma: Oh jeez that is a very tall order Have you already included the "known" burial sites?
sarnold: Yes, it is. We are aware it's a very ambitious project. However, because (sadly) most of these site might not ever be found because they have been lost to development, etcs.
alt: when you say 'after emancipation' are you speaking of individual manumission or after the Civil War and tuniversal emancipation for people of color?
vkn: sarnold how are you funded
alt: universal
Selma: Well I am working on a cemetery project now...no records..we are recording info from headstones...in the older parts of the cemetlery, we haven't gotten to that part yet..there are probably folks who had been enslaved..but we would not know unless we did the research..and there are over 12,000 graves
sarnold: Also, many of these sites are currently abandoned and forgotten. So we may not document all of the sites that exist. But we will certainly work to document those that the public will assist us in identifying.
vkn: sarnold how are you funded and what resources do you anticipate for lomgevity and are you involved with Emery out of TX? sarnold
Selma: Fordham is in the Bronx vkn
alt: sarnold, would this be an example of what you're looking for .... these are FPOC http://www.remarkableohio.org/HistoricalMarker.aspx?historicalMarkerId=106054
vkn: Gotcha. Selma Emerey is a researcher who has been doing this for many a year also connected with Saundra Brown. Name of project escapes
