Thank you for the URL. I have a Civil War question: My cousin claims that every Civil War soldier had his picture taken. Her only reference is the "Antiques Road Show". Is there any truth in this? If so, how would I go about finding the pictures? I have one Union and three Confederate ancestors I'd love to find pictures of. (Three were enlisted men, and the third was an assistant surgeon). - Heather On Fri, 11 Jul 2003, Wilma Fields wrote: > Many have asked about their Ancestors in the Civil War. > This is a wonderful site!

I have a question as well along these lines. Where would you go to find pictures of the regiments, I know a lot of them had pictures taken as a group. ----- Original Message ----- From: "heather e blair" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 9:58 AM Subject: Re: [MOLAWREN-L] Civil War Search & Information > Thank you for the URL.

Heather, I have not heard that. I will see if I can make an inquiry to Veteran's Admin. or NARA and see if there is any truth to that. I would suspect that if it were true, that with the growth of interest in Genealogy, and Civil War history, that it would have been mentioned on some of the many Civil War web-sites, and I have not seen it.
