I do have a daguerrotype of my great grandfather in his Union Army uniform. The image is on glass with a copper edging to cover the sharp edges.

My paternal grandmother was an active DAR and member of the Mayflower Society. She did most of the serious research for the family genealogy records.

Lots of photos of Civil War soldiers survive.

My two great-grandfathers who were born in the US were too young to fight (one was 9 when the war began, the other one born in 1863), while the other two lived in Europe. I had a great-great-grandfather who was a Confederate but have no photo of him. Another great-great-grandfather was a Union soldier and I have a photo of him but taken many years after the war.
