I have just been told by my mother that my gt gt grandfather fought in the American Civil War. He was Patrick Flynn, born about 1841 in Roscommon, Ireland. He married a Margaret Croke in New York in 1875 and sailed for Australia the same year. Could some kind soul tell me how I can verify this information or search to see if he is listed somewhere? I do not know who he fought for or where he enlisted, but am assuming that as he sailed from New York he would have enlisted in a state nearby and presumably fought for the north. Would be grateful for any advice. Many thanks, Susan Gandy Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia

There is 20 Patrick Flynns alone who enlisted in New York you have to have more information.
