I have a picture that says, “Service Bridgeton, N.J.”. How would I know what type of service this man served? It says on the back of the picture, “Here is the dady of this herd”. I think that it’s my great grandfather, George Washington ALEXANDER, because we have another picture of him wearing the same coat, and that is the name that is written on the back. However, this service picture could also be the father of George. So, I am anxious to see where I might find service records dating back to the civil war. Thank you to all in advance!
