"you who are struggling in your search for ancestors in the Civil War, "don't give up". Jim, thats VERY good advice. I had about given up on mine. With the help of a mighty fine lady down in Georgia, we've found 30+ Confederate's and still counting, in less than 3 years. Thats a lot of Rebs, seeing as how most of them were born in East Tennessee. All it takes in one small opening it that brickwall and a LOT of hard work. Glad you found ole Grandpa and that he was on the "right" side. Bob
