thanks. I always look at old photos especially of the civil war cause my grand dad fought as a union soldier even though he was from Georgia. I guess hoping I see a picture captioned Jefferson Maner as we don't have any pictures of him from that time. later photos yes but not when he was in the union army. We do have his discharge papers though. they were passed down to our Dad because he was the youngest member of the family.
