Do you have an interest in the United States Civil War? [closed]

Question

The US Civil War: War Between the States project is dedicated to those individuals who participated in this conflict in whatever capacity, whether a soldier, spy, or even those who supplied either side during the conflict. It is not necessary that you have an ancestor who fits this description. If you have an interest in this part of American history, you are more than welcome to participate. 

Just post an ANSWER (not comment) below and I will gladly add you to the project (as well as the overall Military and War Project). Go to the project page to see what you can do to contribute our project! 

Please request to be added to the Google Group as well as the Google Group for Military and War since this is a sub of that project.

My husband’s family was deeply affected by the Civil War. All 4 sons and all 4 daughters were in the war or married someone in the war. 2 sons died.

I have family that fought in the civil war on both sides. My family has found in every war. I am interested in the civil war. I would like to be added to the civil war project

Yes

Thank you

I would like to join the project,  I have been interested in the civil war ever since my mom took me to Shiloh TN as a preschooler.  I have had some experience searching WWII records to see what happened to my uncle. (things don't add up)

---

I did not have a genealogical interest in it, but if I continue developing the family line on which I am currently working, I may end up with a greater interest than previously, as I just discovered the brother of my one veteran was also a veteran (both died at Vicksburg).

(I already have the M&W badge, so am not seeking addition to this Project, just indicating possible interest and a maybe plea for help at some future time. )

For folks  interested in history of  the  CW in  Virginia, Robert J  Driver  wrote  a  series  of  books  about  the  Calvary units

---

I would very much like to be a part of this project. I have many Confederate ancestors. Some survived the war and others did not.

---

I thought I had this badge since I applied several months ago but I see I do not. I have been adding the sticker to profiles for some time now. Is there something I should be doing other that what I have done to get this badge and work in the group?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Nancy

John, I've added your badge. Here are the goals of the US Civil War Project:

• Identify profiles of individuals who participated in this conflict.
• Add the project sticker to their profile along with any other appropriate sticker such as POW, KIA, etc.
• State Resource Pages. Compile resources for individual states and counties to assist others in researching ancestors/events in those locations. View the lists on the resource page at State Template Page to see individual states.
• Categorize profiles appropriately in regards to military unit, locations, battles, etc.
• PPP (Project Protected Profiles): Request that your participant be PPP'd via a project leader or any WikiTree Leader. Please do a search of all profiles with the correct last name at birth to identify the lowest numbered (original profile) profile to be protected. NOTE: There may be other profiles of the same person but with different spellings of the last name. For further explanation, please see: Process for Merges G2G.

Glad to have you aboard.

Hi, My grandmother's grandfather was George Washington Dockham. He was said to have been a prisoner and walked home to New Hampshire, weighing less than 100 pounds when he got home. He went on to marry and father many children, so I guess he recovered!

Richard, I see that you already have the badge for this project.

---

Interesting. I've not yet seen it in my list of badges. is there another place to look besides under badges ?

---

My mistake, Richard. You have both the M&W badge and the US Civil War badge. (I had too many tabs open and must have looked at someone else's when answering you!)

Here is the link the M&W Project's main page.

And this link is for the US Civil War Project's page.

Thanks!

interested in joining

Answer 19

My second great grandfather was in the PA Volunter Infantry and I would like to join this project so I can create a page for his unit which is Company B of 140th PA  Infantry. I have at least 5 relatives in this unit. I have a MA in history and believe I could be helpful in other ways on this project.

Answer 20

I honored my ancestors by doing the work necessary to become a United Daughter of the Confederacy. I resigned in good standing. It became apparent to me that it was painful, for some, for us to honor anyone from that war. I believe they served to protect their land. We lost several members of our family to the war. I would like to join the project.
