Introduction

This bibliography is designed to assist those researching Civil War veterans and units in New York State outside of Erie County. While it omits regiments that were formed partly or mostly of Erie County men, it does include several statewide sources, such as Union censuses and genealogical databases, that include all counties. Please note that there are separate handouts for these topics:
