Greetings from a Round Table Confederate Civil War descendant from Florida, now living in Australia.

I'm James Gray, a direct Confederate descendant and member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. My ancestors fought for the Confederacy from and in North Carolina, I was born and lived in Tampa, Florida until I married a lady from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. I was involved in research in Florida for some 30 years, now I do it here and donate it all to the National Library of Australia.

I just wanted to touch base and commend you on your group and your website.

You may want to have your members take a look at the Memorial Website at www.acwv.info; which includes Confederates and Union buried in Australia and New Zealand.

It really is a small world. If I can ever be of assistance in any way, please let me know. Much to the dismay of the Union minded groups in New South Wales, I do a lot of research and place it where everyone, world wide, can use and copy it. The American Civil War Round Table of Queensland, Inc., unlike the American Civil War Round Table of Australiam(down south), we are 99%+ Confederate minded and all Confederate reenactors as well. We set up our Confederate camp each year at History Alive in Brisbane. You can visit our website at www.acwrtq.com. If you would like, I could have your website linked to it; let me know. Us Confederates gotta stick together.

I hope you will keep in touch.
