None of my ancestors were Nazis or Confederates and I have no guilt in mocking them.
A Civil War relative - his face looks very much like some cousins of mine. This was a North Carolina Confederate named Noah Canup:
His brother, Caleb, lived in IL and was in the Union Army. Both brothers lost their lives during the war.
My gg grandfather died while in service:
Caleb Canup, Private, Company D, 56th Infantry Regiment, Illinois. Enlisted Dec. 16, 1863 at Gray's Mill, Johnson County, Illinois. Mustered into service Feb. 16, 1864. Died at home while on sick leave April 4, 1864. Five feet 8 ½ inches tall, dark eyes, dark complexion.
Noah (Terry Lee Canup's Great Great Grandfather) lived in North Carolina and fought for the Confederacy. His brother, Caleb Canup (both Terry W. Canup and Terry K. Canupp's Great Great Grandfather) lived in Southern Illinois. He fought for the Union Army. Both men lost their lives, Caleb died of disease, Noah was wounded, captured and died in prison camp.
Another gg grandfather who died in the war:
