Hi David
Yes I have allways had a interest in the war just as a amateur historian, and then reasearching family history to my great excitement I found some relitives had gone to Mississippi about 1830 and that 2 of the family (1st cousin's 4x times removed) had served in units from that state,I found this site a few months ago and have asked afew question's and the folks here are really kind with helpfull answers.
Where are your folks from in Somerset.
