Current Research and Future Plans

REGIMENTAL ITINERARY
I am compiling a detailed itinerary of every place the regiment went along with every event and battle it participated in.  When finished, I will publish this itinerary on the website.  Additionally, I am developing a Google Map that shows the detailed route of the regiment throughout the war and people will be able to access this map.  See a sample of the still primitive, in-work map at (coming soon).

BATTLE FLAGS


Fellow descendant, Arlan Heiser, has kindly provided two photos of 16th O.V.I. battle flags. One is currently available on this page. More to come!

GRAVESITES


I am collecting and publishing gravesites/gravestones of 16th OVI soldiers here.  I'm always looking for more.

REGIMENTAL ROSTERS
All of the 16th OVI 90-day, 9 month and 3-year regiments have been recorded and are available in a searchable database  You can search by company, rank, last name and other criteria. Enjoy searching the entire regiment, in all its forms, now!

SOLDIERS' PROFILES
Profiles for 29 soldiers are available on the Soldier's Profile page. I have information on many more and will be adding profiles as information is received and time permits.

REUNION HIGHLIGHTS
Thanks to H. Arlan Heiser, I have plenty of documentation to review. Provided are pages for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 19th and 38th reunions. There are over thirty more to do. I place the most interesting and emotional pieces of each reunion's documentation onto the web site. I plan to present such excerpts for every reunion but will continue to add more to the existing reunion pages, too.  Update:  I am also creating an "image page" for each reunion I can find one or more images for.  See the "Images" column on the Reunion Home Page at the link just above.

Arlan Heiser has completed all the Reunion Attendance charts. I have published one for Company C. I'll get to them all as time permits. Thanks again, Arlan!

THOMAS LINN DIARIES
Rumors are that more "volumes" of the Thomas B. Linn diaries exist. When they are discovered and available to me, they will be placed on this site! You can enjoy July, 1863 through January 1864 right now!

MORE IMAGES!!!!
You can see the image of one of Major Mills' diaries on the Home Page near the bottom. I have recently provided photograph of Major Mills' officer's coat and red sash, also. I have photo's of the Major's sword and they will be appearing with the coat and sash very soon.

SOLDIER'S IMAGES


I am collecting and publishing every image I can find of 16th OVI soldiers.  There are currently images of 83 different 16th OVI soldiers plus multiple photos of some.  See the Soldier's Image Index page.

There must be group photos of the regiment as well as many other individuals scattered throughout the land. Any assistance in finding such photos will greatly enhance the web site - AND, earn you a spot on our Descendants and Friends of the 16th OVI page!
