This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Vruwink Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/2FC.2ACI/73.150 Message Board Post: Hi, Don't know if you are still working on this topic, but I have just recently been digging through my family history files, and I do have some information about an ancestor that was in the Civil War. I don't have a scanner, but if you send me your regular mailing address, I would be happy to send you a copy of what I have. It is a Certificate of Service for Arnt John Van Vrink (which is a slaughtered spelling for Vruwink) that tells he was hurt at the battle of Hatcher's Run, Virginia on February 7, 1865. I also have a copy of a letter from a Major General, dated January 26, 1931 explaining about the confusion with the last name, and a bit of an explanation about where he was drafted from, etc. I am new to this computer message posting stuff - but hope this will get through to you and will be helpful. I would also be interested to know what information you have. Oh, and the Vruwinks are from Cedar Grove/Oostburg, Wisconsin. Are you related to Al or Judy Risseeuw from Cedar Grove? Hope to hear from you. Diane (Vruwink) Carlson
