Title: Civil War soldier/ Philip Sigrist
Post by: msjaci1977 on Friday 04 January 08 23:39 GMT (UK)

I found a website giving me info about my ggg grandfather, Philip Sigrist being in the Civil War. He was from Missouri. No rank or MOS was given.
  He was born Feb 27, 1834. Married a Mary Louise Walter(s)? (Unsure if there is an S at the end  or not). He died on Dec 9, 1893. He and Mary Louise had 3 children.  I am so frustrated that I can not remember the website I found the civil war info on, but if anyone can help, please let me know!

Best Regards,
Jacqueline Sigrist

Hi Jacqueline:
I am not sure if this is what you had found but you should find it useful.
SIGRIST, PHILLIP 
Rank: Private
Conflict: Civil War
Side: Union
Type of Unit: 
Organization: Enrolled Missouri Militia
Name of Unit: 41st Regiment E.M.M.

You can see and also get copy of his record card. No cost!
If you search for only last name you will find other Sigrists, two in civil war and four others in WW1.

Hope this helps,

Pat
