Hello Cousins, I went to the Fredericksburg Battlefield the other day. This is what I found out. There are Union soldiers buried in the National Cemetery they have right beside this battlefield. Unfortunately this is how it is laid out. There are about 100,000 Union Soldiers laid to rest. However, there are only about 15,000 of them that have plots with names. The others were thrown in graves from 1-12 men per grave. The plot is numbered then under it is numbered with how many men in one grave. I thought it was sad because lineages will be hard to connect unless they were mentioned in Memoirs or Journals. This Battlefield is a great source of the Civil War. They have a book store located with Visitor Center. Wonderful place, full of history. I could stay there several days myself. I wanted you all to know this for your records while researching. There are two smaller grave sites located around town that have Civil War soldiers of the Conferate. I did not visit them as of yet.
