Week 21 - Military - 52 Ancestors in 52 weeks 2025

 I have a special place in my heart for Civil War Veterans. Each time I find one who is an ancestor of me, my husband or my "kids in laws" as I call them, I research them to write their stories. Over the years I have found about 12. Most of them survived the war. While I have posted shorter stories about some of them, I have never posted each of their full stories. This week, I posted them all them all to my blog. Their stories grow as I find more information to add. Here is the link to my blog page , just search "Civil War" and they will all come up. We owe so much to these men for helping keep our country united. https://eclecticann.blogspot.com/
