Almost 10 years ago I was knee deep in genealogy research and passionately pursuing all leads. The most interesting time period for me was my Civil War Ancestors. The National Archives were a treasure trove for me as was the state genealogical society.
I've always wanted to write a story based on these soldiers in my past, but the scope of it caused me to flounder. An idea came to me a few weeks ago and today I started it. I'm cataloging (or transcribing) all these documents into a blog. Its not easy getting the blog to cooperate with how I want it to look but I think I'm getting it there.
The first ancestor I'm documenting is William Little. If you are interested in the life of a Civil War Soldier here is the blog link:
