This document is from the Civil War Pension file of my third great-grandfather. It has an amazing amount of family tree information on it.
My third great-grandparents were married on December 31, 1854 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was the first marriage for both of them.
I would be happy with that information, but the names and dates of birth for all of their children are also listed. Now that's like winning the family historian jackpot!
Every ancestor is more than just a name. Every one of them has a story. We are connected genetically, physically, and emotionally. We are who we are because of who they were.
