Thank you for the invitation, but I am not really sure if I am related to anyone who fought in the Civil War.

You might find a little research about the SCV these days interesting. Google "SCV" and "Kirk Lyons" and you'll find plenty.

fwiw, the best source for most of us, when we start to seek our ancestors, is to ask the eldest of the women in our families. they usually have forgotten more family history than we younger folk know.

in my case (over 25 years ago) my Great Aunt Millie remembered his birth date, place of birth & what unit he served with.

with that data, i was able to locate land records, his tax records, marriage certificate & his CSA service & pension records, etc.
