In Memorial

Civil War Memorial, Litchfield Plains, Maine

As I've worked along through the tree, I've discovered that a number of my relatives volunteered and served in the American Civil War.  I've talked about some of them already, but I continue to find people in more remote corners of the tree.  Today for Memorial Day I  will honor these more distant relatives.
The years are the years of service best I could determine. The two with extra notations died in service.

Emory Rogers 1861-1863

Perley H Richardson 1862-1863

Lorenzo M. Richardson 1863-1865

Oliver Bartlett Richardson 1861-1863

Charles Henry Howe 1862-1864 Andersonville

Benjamin F Roberts 1862-1864

Correctus H Richardson 1864-1864 Battle of the Wilderness

Thanks....

A New Resource on YouTube- British Pathé

YouTube has just added another wonderful resource for family historians. The entire British Pathé
film archive now has its own channel here. I did a quick search for the little village where the Tapply relatives came from and came up with this newsreel footage from 1935 for a cricket match involving the Wittersham team. Nothing came up on a name search, but if you had someone notable in your British family something just might. And further searches for Maidstone and Isle of Oxney came up with other interesting footage. If you have British relatives in your tree, this is worth a look.
