Dianne just because your ancestor was irish does not mean he served in a all irish regiment. You really need to know what county he was living in and then see what regiments were organized in that county. The 69th and 116th PA were composed of many irishmen. I had ancestors in the 48th and 96th PA Inf which were out of Schuylkill County composed of large number of irish col miners. Post his full name on here and we can check the data bases on him.

By the time of the CW they were living in PA and my ancestor was working as a civil engineer. He would have been in his early 40's. My questions are: Would he have had to serve, and if he did, what unit would he have been with? The only Irish units I have found seem to be connected with New York. Any help would be appreciated.
