Many of the companies in Illinois Volunteer Regiments during the Civil War were recruited within a specific area of a state. This database matches the recruitment locations (counties) with the companies. Note that not all soldiers from a particular county enlisted in companies from that county. Many joined regiments from neighboring counties or even regiments from other states.
Thanks to Steve Haas who supplied the database!
If you know the Regiment and want counties of origin, use the other form.
