Are you looking for a list of names of every person killed in the
Civil War and list of names of every person that served?  There were
over 500,00 killed and another 400,00 wounded.

I found that the easiest way to accomplish a feat such as this, was to
go to my local Town Hall and look through the Town Records.  Yes, a
tedious job, but very rewarding.  And, because I began my search
locally, I was able to branch out further and further, as I came
across more and more names.

There is no single source, that I am aware of, for US and Confederate
Civil War dead.  There are many many sites for CW cemeteries with
lists, etc.  You will need to identify more specific information (ie
location, regiment, etc.) in order to narrow it down.

As for the soldiers who fought - a first look should be into the US
Soldiers and Sailors System database, from the NPS, at
www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ This is a fine site which provides basic
information for a large number of Civil War soldiers and sailors.
