I get the impression from reading this that you are a Northerner. My mom, several relatives and I have done a great deal of genealogy research. My family is rife with men who served their newly formed country during the Great Unpleasantries of 1861-65. One family sent 8 sons off at one time, with six returning home following the cessation of hostilities.
