Something clicked: An ancestor of mine arrived in New York in 1860 with two brothers but then disappears until 1867, when all three turn up in Philadelphia. I have to wonder, as he would have been between 19 and 21 in 1861 and very poor. I know nothing of Civil War research, so I'll appreciate any advice. > > Many thanks! > > PatGet more from the Web.
