Hello Starjet. It's all very addictive. Do you know much about what your ancestors did during the war?

Being new to all of this I'm guessing you want to know if they were Inf. or heavy artilliy etc. Is that correct? I also know some were killed and captured. Yes it is addictive even when you don't know a lot about it.

Hi Starjet, I'm just curious. It's good to hear such stories - it makes it all more real and relevant somehow. I regret that I never asked my late grandfather what he did in WW2 (although after hearing I was visiting Berlin, he did give me the enigmatic advice that it was a nice city if one stayed clear of the Hitler Youth...).

Still haven't got positive proof of some but here's a couple tid-bits. Charles J. Hulslander was a Corp. Union 16th Calvary Pa. Died 7-28-1864 Jacob Hulslander was a Pvt. Union 86th Inf. N.Y. Co. E died 9-12-1862 Isaac Hulslander was a Pvt. Union 43rd Inf. Illinois. (My dad's great uncle)Fought at Shiloh Tennessee 4-6-1862 Frank Hulslander may have been a deserter . Not sure. Could have re-enlisted after that. Randolph Burger was a Pvt. Union Il. 16th Calvary Co. F captured 3-1-1864 at Jonesville , Va. ( Survived ? ) John Bryner was Adjunt Col. Union Il. Inf. 1st battle at Farmington,Miss 5-9-1861 plus 7 other battles. B. Burger was a Pvt. Confederate Orleans Fire Reg. La. Milita Co. A A.H. Burger was a Confederate 35th Inf. Tn.(5th Inf) (1st Mountain Rifle Reg.) A.L. Burger was a Confederate 19th Reg. Inf. Alabama Abraham Burger Confedertae 57th Reg.Va. Inf. Andrew J Burger Confedertae 65th Reg. Inf. Ga. I have a "BIG" group for all the surnames but just thought I'd give you a few. Starjet

Thanks Starjet - I'm sure there's an interesting story behind each person you list. Were you interested in genealogy before you got hooked on the war (no cure for this addiction, thankfully!)?
