Wow, Robert, that is very interesting and nice legacy for your family. And how do you accidentally come upon such great information! Seriously, I should be so lucky and would love to know--were you looking for another Goins and found them in an index? Nancy

Well it was like a paradox. I seached high and low for James in the censuses after--not during-- 1860 and I could not find him. I remember going to my local National Archives ( in California) and downloading all the GOINS in the Civil War. Voila! There is a James. I had to do a little match up wiith his age but it was him. I didn't believe myself but I am sure after seeing the ever so brief pension for James. --- Nancy & Ted <hootmon2@earthlink.net> wrote: > Wow, Robert, that is very interesting and nice > legacy for your family. > And how do you accidentally come upon such great > information!
