I have been watching this forum for years and I understand how a lack of info can keep one from proving his or her ancestry.I keep hoping that one day someone will post something about the Company of Partisan Rangers. Was g-g gf fibing about his service??? I remember taking to a man at Gettysburg who looked up a soldier and would print a certificate of service.A man from Pa. was checking out his g-g gf and told him how everyone in that small town talked about the old vet. He would wear his old kepi and tell tales of his war exploits. He had to tell the inquiring gentleman that records showed that his gf deserted at Gettyburg. Oh well,at least he knew.
