When the Hunley was discovered underwater a few years ago naturally there was alot of stories on the news about it here in the South. You did a really good job on your Post telling about the confederate submarine today. As you've probably heard me tell in the past, my great grandfather from Charleston was a Lieutenant in the Confederate Army. The story about the Hunley causes me to wonder if he knew those men and how that event may have effected him.
My other great great granfather at that time was a yankee who lived in Illinios, he disowned his daughter (my great grandmother) for marrying a Southerner in Missouri. Wonder what that makes me, a Disowned Daughter of the Confederacy? lol
lol.
Hi Aqua. Still laughing over your "misadventures". Thanks for the links to your new pics. The next few months are going to be interesting indeed!!!

No, I didn't know that. How interesting! I had a great great (great?) grandfather in the War of 1812, but no one that I can find in the Revolutionary War or the Civil War.

That's sad. I think that happened quite often during the "brother against brother" Civil War. But it makes me wonder how anyone could ever disown their own child.

LOL!! I guess so! ;-)
Don't worry about it Aqua. You could have my problem. I was a real daughter of the Confederacy; Dixie forever. Then one day my grandfather mentioned that his father had run away and joined the army. Now, my Yankee husband had the audacity to ask him which side his father joined. Yankee!!!! Oh the shame of it....
