I often get asked how I get started identifying the soldiers in the cemetaries that I have worked on. It all starts with help from the folks that take care of their final resting places.
As memorial day approaches men, women and organizations are going out to these cemeteries and placing flags on the graves of these fallen soldiers. We would like to get ahold of these lists. They will provide a valuable starting place for us to do our work.
If you know anyone who has these lists, or you yourself has a copy please email it to witscivilwar@gmail.com
If you look at the top right of this site you will see the cemeteries we are working on
If your cemetery isnt listed we are definately looking for your help!
Even though Berks and Schuylkill are the primary locations that I am working on, we have other folks working on Carbon, Allegheny and Lebanon Counties and we will gladly take any lists from any of those or any other county in Pennsylvania!
Thank you for helping us with our project, without you we couldnt keep these soldiers stories alive!
