Hello All, Three new pages are posted in time for Memorial Day on the Oconto County, WI, GenWeb Site featuring full names, enlistment dates, home town, and brief service summary of Civil War Volunteers from that county (and a brief regimental history). County Home Page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wioconto/index.htm Oconto County Civil War Main Page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wioconto/civilwar.htm Oconto County River Sackers - Infantry: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wioconto/riversackers.htm Oconto Guard - Light Artillary: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wioconto/11artillery.htm Oconto River Drivers - Infantry to Cavalry: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wioconto/4cavalry.htm These government roster lists include the volunteers who lived in Oconto County at the time of enlistment. There were volunteer soldiers from other counties and states other than Wisconsin who are not on the lists, but these units were primarily and originally made up of Oconto County people. Not all Oconto County Volunteers are on these lists as some were scattered into other regiments and others did not live in Oconto County until after the war. This weekend, please take a moment to remember all your ancestors who pioneered the land as well as those who fought for what they believed in. You are the result of their efforts. They would want you to have a safe and happy holiday. Thank you, Rita - Oconto County, WI, GenWeb Site Host Rita
