Re: Genealogy Corner
My two sons have a pretty interesting geneology on their dads side. They have a relative that fought in the Civil War for the Confederacy. He was taken Prisoner by the North in the battle of Atlanta. He was brought to Chicago to Camp Douglas which was a famous Union prisoner of war camp. He sat out the war and was released to return to his home in Alabama. He died an old man while he was out hunting possum. They found him out in the woods.Re: Genealogy Corner
Well done Val for starting this.Re: Genealogy Corner
Glad you are all enjoying this thread.Re: Genealogy Corner
What actually started me off was the mystery about my maternal grandfather. My mother never spoke about her father and if I broached the subject she used to change the subject to something else. After Mum died we couldn't even find her birth certificate so I managed to get a copy when I went to register her death and found out her Dad's name. I sent for his death certificate and discovered he died aged 42 and also found out he was separated from my grandmother. Hence I got hooked on genealogy.Thread Tools | |
