Right not, the research only involves US. I really need to send off for my mother's greatgrandfather's Civil War records. The last time I was at the National Archives, I found where he had served in Warren Co., TN. This is the side of the family where there were both Union and Confederate soldiers. Literally, a split family. I already have the certificate of service in the Confederate Army from my dad's greatgrandfather. He joined at Vicksburg, but missed the battle because he was sent away on detail.

Also on my dad's side, there were many Revolutionary War vets. Two of which are direct my ancestors. However, I do not have the proof that DAR requires, and am not sure I have the patience to dig it all up. I am just amazed and content knowing that all my direct lines were in America before the Revolutuionary War.

Oh good grief, you get my drift. I really should read these posts before I post them, ya know? I am starting to sound a bitlike yoda myself!

Pretty neat family history! Kinda brings the past to life to realize your direct ancestors were involved in the events.
