Just got a Family Geneology from the ex-wife of the brother of my first husband and father of my sons. I learned that my sons have a great-great grandfather who served in a PA unit in the Civil War. This is of interest, since no one in my own family can find any indications that my ancesters fought in The War. But what caught my attention was that this ancester was wounded at Chancellorsville. My secondd husband, who father my sons since their teens, also has an ancester who was wounded, for the Confederacy, at Chancellorsville. Who'd a-thunk! Furthermore, my sons' Dieter ancester was at Petersburg in 1865, fought at Sutherland Station and at Sailor's Creeks, so he may have crossed the property we now live on. I've done a website on the battle the day before Sutherland, for Five Forks. I now wonder if he was also there, although the history doesn't say so. We live between Southerland and Nottoway, a mile from the railroad, if it is still in the same bed as in 1865. I sure hope that when my sons get their copy of this geneology they will be as interested in this as I am. It is certainly a feather in the cap of geneologists to find such interesting connections in families.
