I posted in the newcomers forum about my 2nd great grandfather, Isaac Thomas Barry, and what I found about his service in the 9th Kentucky Mounted Infantry. In April 1864 Pvt. Tom Barry was transferred to the Navy under General Order No. 100. To find what this meant I need to look at a microfilm only available in the National Archives in Atlanta or DC, or in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. The nearest option in more than 500 miles away from me. Addionally, I still don’t have any record of what happened to Tom between 1864 and the end of the war. I am debating whether hiring an expert might be worth it.
Anyone have experience with this?
