Last night while reading a copy of a pension record for my husband's gr grandfather who was a sailor on the USS Congress during the civil war, I came across a record that gives the names and addresses of about 10 of his shipmates who were still living in 1890. These men were on board the Congress the day they were attacked and sunk by the ironclad Merrimack. The following day was the day the Merrimack and the Monitor enganged in battle. I would like to make these names available to the public and hopefully any family members who may be researching these lines. Since this is a civil war mail list I am hoping that someone on the list may be able to tell me how best to do so. Thank you, Gena Gates Lally
