Is it possible to determine a soldier ancestor if many have the same name, age and place? The records are sparse and there is no birth day. I know sometimes by old letters, but that is rare. Some names are so common.

If you supply Name, birth, death and spouse to the above LDS search, you may have some success finding information.[/QUOTE]
All the Civil War records I see do not list a wife except pensions. It seems to me it is very hard to differentiate people with similar names, maybe for some impossible. If there are five John Smiths that are 24 years old listed as coming from the same place it might be impossible to figure out which one is the ancestor.
