Written records are the way to go for proof.You are so right the search is what genealogy is all about...if it weren't we'd have all quit! History is fascinating and today on The History Channel the Civil War is on almost constantly, 150 years Anniversity. I understand it is a complicated and sensitive subject but General Robert E. Lee was a gentleman and a scholar and joined the Confederacy because of his home being in Virginia. He was opposed to raising arms against his home state, hey don't mess with Texas!!! So, keep on a-digging! >From one Southern Belle to another, Betty Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
