Looking for Informations about my ancestor

[StevenLittle1976]

Hello my friends. Some years ago I discovered my anchestor, Pvt Ludger Weber. He served with the Louisiana Militia (Co A, 3rd reg, 2nd Brig, 1st Div). I found about 40+ Members of this Company. But nothing about where this unit were stationed at, if they had to fight or maybe a flag of this unit. So maybe if someone has some information, I would love to see or read it.
I will post some information which I found of Ludger, even a picture of him, compared to my dad with nearly the same age.

This should help answer some of your questions.

Welcome to Civil War Talk.

I'll be glad to see what I may be able to find about Pvt. Ludger Weber.

My direct ancestors settled in both Mississippi & Louisiana (and served in both state's regiments, militias during the War).
So I'm somewhat familiar with searching the records of both states.

Numbered and named militia units can be very confusing, so bear with with me.

Well ... @ucvrelics has beaten me to the basics.

The man is great researching such inquiries !

But I will keep looking . . . to possibly find other records.

Its down right now but below is a link to a GREAT website for the LA archives. Its down right now but has a lot of great info.

Seems @ucvrelics has found the best info.
Actually, I didn't even look at fold3 as he was already looking into those records.

However, I did find an older thread on this site about the First Brigade :

3rd Regiment, 1st Brigade, 1st Division, Louisiana Militia | Regimental Histories

I havent been able to really find much on this unit. Like the other regiments I have looked into I havent been able to find much out about this regiment let alone anything about Company K. If anyone knows anything about this units movements, battles they were involved with, and any other...

civilwartalk.com

There doesn't appear to be much available about this militia regiment.

Thank you guys. It is great to sse some progress at my research. Thanks for all the help.

So it seems like they never get involved in any fights I think. Well, Ludger died in 1888, so he HAD survived. But I have to say, I though just this way. Never fought or only guarding a city or area.

And, sorry... for the double post but someone told me to post it at another part of the forum.
