Another great idea "jarm!" I don't know if Jack McGann is on these lists, which is why I spread the word. Two points. I recall Jack telling me he searched for James McGANN/GAN/GAHAN on the 1865 New York State Census for Brooklyn, page by page, for several days. He also followed every Civil War soldier to the end. TO ALL: Jack has been "at this" search for his James McGANN for over 7 years! James=born IRE @ 1833, married and fathered in Verplanck, NY, moved to Village of Sing Sing NY, and on 1860 census. In 1870, wife Mary McGANN need CARR, is widow with Annie and Thomas in Brooklyn. If you like a challenge, or can offer NEW EYES to this quest, or are just plain kind hearted and want to help, please contact Jack directly at the CC address above. I'll call this one "Scarlett's 1st Memorial Find." Barb =============== [email protected] writes: > If your ancestor was in the Civil War, how about trying the 1865 NY > State > Census...
