Surnames: Dietrich Classification: Military Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Jh.2ADE/1456 Message Board Post: I know Levi Dietrich served in the Civil War for several years out of PA. I have not been able to find him listed in books or on line. He probably had a different spelling but I can't guess what that was so can someone help me ? He, his wife Lydia and children moved to Leaf River Ogle Co. IL very soon after his service.

I believe this is your family, but before I keep searching will wait to hear from you 1880 Greenwood, Kossuth Co. Iowa Detrich, Levi 50 PA/Germany/GER Farmer Lydia 47 PA/Ger/Ger Levi (son) 5 Ill / Ger/Ger
