Hi David, would you like the US Civil War Badge?   Also, here is a link that I've found helpful in researching individual soldiers: Civil War Research and Genealogy Database (civilwardata.com)

Pam,

That would be great.  Thanks for the link!

Answer 1

NICE!   My family Civil War Heroes were from Iowa, captured, spent time in a POW camp, thankfully rescued before they became statistics of those death camps.  They were mustered out, walked from Missouri and Iowa to Nebraska to be with their family, and both died within a year as they both had "Consumption" now called TB.  We think that they even spread that horrible disease to the family and it took some more of our family.

David and David are 26th cousins twice removed

Hi Cousin!  Thanks for the support.  Our ancestors sure went through a lot.  Good luck with your research, may you find more (happier) stories along the way.
