December 11 – Consider how you ancestors were affected by
the Civil War. Letters from the era can help.
I requested two of my ancestor’s Civil War Pension files and
found out a little of their personal lives. One was for my 3
rd great
grandfather and the other for his father-in-law. I found out that my 3
rd
great grandfather became ill during the war and returned home to recuperate. He
ends up have lasting effects and most likely PTSD because he and his wife
separated. I haven’t found any formal divorce but since his wife remarried
during his lifetime, I sure hope they were divorced.
Remember to have fun and Just do Genealogy!
