I haven't worked on genealogy for over five years. Too much other interesting stuff to do. I found out about my relative, a distant one, from a website that his family has extensive genealogy on. No doubt I have others, but I just don't know. My Dad had some miniballs he found in a Civil War battlefield. One of them had been fired and deformed by impact. He was born and raised in the South. Hard, not impossible.

There are forms you can get from the National Archives out on Sand Point Way that can help with that.....Records go back to the Rev War....If you are in DC and go to the NA there, if you have an 1812 Soldier, you can get the actual files and with gloves, can hold them in your hands.....Guarded room, and these take about 4 hours from ordering them from the stacks, but it is amazing when you actually see them. There are lots of records online but since they've added more info and changed how you find things, it might be easier to just go look through microfiche and film to see what you can find.....They are quite helpful there.
