Hello, all! I just got all registered-up for your CW interactive forum. I have recently been determined to find such a site to help learn and share about CW history, family geneology, and primary resources. I am an elementary schoolteacher who is lucky to have a dad with a keen interest in geneological research. This partially explains my username - my gggrandfather (think I said that right!) was Cpl. Richard H. Stevens, Company A (Stafford Rangers), 9th Virginia Cavalry. I look forward to future discussions and learning! Take care!

Welcome. 9th VA Cavl! I, too, have chosen pamc153PA in honor of an ancestor who fought in the Civil War--in my case, my ggggg uncle, who was wounded on Day 1 of Gettysburg and later died of that wound. You'll find a lot of nice folks here, and folks who know a lot about the CW--and are willing to share. Enjoy! Pam

Capt. Crow, Pam, thanks for the welcomes! Again, I look forward to beginning online discussions and "exploration" here of the Civil War/19th century period and learning what I can about online family history resources. A prime focus for now is finding out more regarding the wartime communities of the Stafford Courthouse area; Union occupation and encampments, maps and descriptions of the changes in Stafford resulting from the War, and very specifically the area encompassing what is called "Jumping Branch Road" - the location of my great-great-grandfather's still-standing farm house and family cemetery. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=Jumping+Branch+Road,+Stafford+Virginia&ie=UTF-8&split=0&gl=us&ei=XMbKSb_OAuDlnQfV8LzMCQ&mid=1238409071 Adam aka 9th VA Cav

Suffice to say, Stafford County geneological resources really helped me out as well as did the Virginia Library of Richmond (online) - found Confederate pension records scanned online, birth records from the Fredericksburg Virginia Herald newspaper, lots of great stuff. http://www.lva.virginia.gov/whatwehave/index.htm http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vastaffo/ http://www.lib.virginia.edu/scholarslab/resources/gis/vagaz/index.html http://9thvirginia.com/pre.html Adam Last edited on Fri Apr 3rd, 2009 10:23 pm by 9th VA Cav ____________________ "Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees." |
