Would you have any information on Alex G. Wilson b.1865 in Alabama? He married Sarah E. Taylor and have a child Lee Curtis Wilson b. 1889 who is one of my ancestors.
Joe, You were telling me you had a relative who was in the 15th Alabama at Gettysburg. The 15th Alabama had marched 13 miles to get to Gettysburg. Their first action was to take Big Round Top. Many of the men fainted on the way up because they had no water. Following taking Big Round Top They were ordered to take Little Round Top This was portrayed in the movie Gettysburg. The following link shows the famous bayonet charge by Chamberlain down the hill. The unit they are charging against is the 15th Alabama! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqT8PMBtIKI&feature=related Did you get goose bumps watching it? What do you think?
Hi Joe - I keep missing your personal message in the chat room. You wanted to know about military records. What side was your ancestor on? What state did he serve from and what was his name?

Joe do you have the names of Thomas Graham Balfour's parents or his birthdate or his wife's name and I will see where and if we link up.
Mostly Missouri in Nodaway County. I know that some of my Treese's came from Ohio, but I haven't done much with that part yet. Where are yours from?
