A BIT OF COMMUNITY...MEMBERS HELPING MEMBERS
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I'm going to put a note here to all of you have so graciously offered to help folks out. If you no longer want to be on this list please let me know and I will take your name off the list. I've had email telling me they've sent email to someone on the list for help, and the email was deleted before it was ever even read.
If you have a resource from which you would be willing to do look-ups for folks, please let us know and we'll add it here.
JDevi4@aol.com has offered to help anyone with info on the 3rd Tennessee Mounted Infantry US and other Tennessee units from both sides.
HMS Polychrest@aol.com has said he would be happy to assist in research on: 18th Missouri Volunteer Infantry USA, which was organized in Northern Missouri before finally fighting at Shiloh and serving with Sherman starting in '63.
Also, Missouri Units and state CW history in general -- both Union and Confederate.
Please put "Missouri CW Research" or "18th MO VOLS" in the subject line when contacting me

eharding2@cox.net has offered to do lookups for folks with ancestors from the Confederacy, focusing mainly on North Carolina, but has other sources also.
GoldHobo@aol.com has told us if anyone wants info the the 85th NY Inf. Regt. (Plymouth Pilgrims) you may email her. She has a book about them. Her one request is that you put 85th Regt. in the subject line so she doesn't delete it by mistake

Also if you have anyone on the list and have additional information, Trump would appreciated you sending it to her.

If anyone is doing Illinois Civil War research, you may email IllinoisCW@aol.com Tell him Jayne sent you. He will give it priority and see what he can find for you.
If YOU have a Civil War Ancestor, Kevin/frye@pstel.net does Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville, GA. Any research he does is absolutely at NO cost and he is willing to do all he can. There are more than 32,000 prisoners on record from the Union, and quite a few who were held prisoner there as Union regiments from Confederate states. There are also nearly 13000 marked graves of those who died there. Kevin's focus is dedicated to ALL of those held prisoner during the war, on both sides, as well as all Americans who gave their freedoms for those that we enjoy today.. He just happens to be near Andersonville, so that is where he does his work.
Visit Kevin's site at: <<http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/Andersonvilleprison/index.html>>
If YOU have a question regarding Confederate researching, visit Steve Teeft's website at <<http://www.dixieresearch.com>> Tell him you saw his address in the Weekly Fireside. Steve@dixieresearch.com

WHAT WE ARE ABOUT
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
OUR FOCUS: the "History of the American (United States) Civil War," with by-products of laughter, and camaraderie!
OUR GOAL: to enhance your Genealogy activity, knowledge, and "wisdom" by talking about the history surrounding their lives and actions; specifically the "Civil War" that our ancestors lived through and died because of.
Captain Oliver Wendell Holmes of the 20th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, said it so well.
"I think it is a noble and pious thing
To do whatever we may by written
Word or molded bronze and sculpted
Stone to keep our memories, our
Reverence and our love alive and
To hand them on to new generations
All too ready to forget."
OUR PROMISE: to provide an "online" environment that is NOT judgmental and to address ALL aspects of this "Pivotal Period" in our History, with honesty and truth (as we know it).
We'll See You Wednesday, Thursday, and/or Friday Night.
Jayne, RT, Rua, Sandy and Will
