After 4 years of finding & identifying images of Mayflower descendants (700 and counting) on my other site, Mayflowerfaces.com, I am turning to more recent generations. For Baby Boomers like me, Civil War era ancestors were our great-great and great-great-great grandparents, not anyone we would have had an opportunity to me meet in our own lifetime. So I'm attempting to find and identify individuals associated with the 3rd MA Heavy Artillery and introduce them to their descendants and others interested in Civil War history. If you can identify any of these sergeants, relaxing with their brass cannon at Fort Totten, Washington, DC in August 1865 let me know.
