Sources of roster information: Information for this roster of the Forty-fourth Alabama Infantry Regiment is taken from several sources. All sources, other than the National Archives' [Compiled Service] records, may be considered secondary sources and therefore subject to error. Corrections to the roster are welcomed, so long as a source of information is provided. I am particularly interested in birth/death dates/places, and burial locations.
