Military Uniform

sheryl8564 — 20 Sep 2008 5:30:21 GMT

Can anyone tell me about the uniform the young man is wearing in this photo? I think it is from the Civil War, but that doesn't fit in the right time frame of the ancestor that I think this is a picture of.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

VA Hospital Records?

KimbroughL — 1 Aug 2008 8:31:04 GMT

I am wondering if it is possible to obtain records from a VA Hospital? I have a collateral relative who died at the VA hospital in Clark County, Washington. He died some years ago, so even if it is possible to obtain records, they may no longer be available.

TIA for any thoughts.

Lying on a pension file

xoxo__proud — 25 Jul 2008 9:55:02 GMT

I'm not sure but I think one of my ancestors lied on a civil war pension file. I'm almost positive her husband had already been married once before he married her. Maybe he just didn't tell her about the previous marriage. But if he did and she put down that he had never been previously married, what would have been the benefits of this? Would she have had to share some of the pension money with his first wife?

American Citizens in Prsion-Carthagena-1806

dsegelquist — 12 Jul 2007 4:24:42 GMT

In 1806 a ship called the Leander was captured by two Spanish armed vessels. There was taken 47 American. These men would end up in a Carthagena prison, two years later ( 1808 ) with the help of a British Officer a petition was sent to the United States Congress asking for help for their release, by the time the petition-report was written their number was down to 36, because of deaths and escapes. Although we ( Amreicans ) were having trouble with the British at this time, this Officer felt it was his duty to help as some of the Americans were born British subjects and it was his duty to help all British subjects.

Note. As the report is to long to put here I will only list the 36 names. If however you see a name that's family and would like the report ( Three pagers ) I will sent you a copy by URL address. The report tells how they started out and how they ended up in prsion.

Note. The americans that were born British well have a star beside their name.

Note. This information comes from the Library of Congrees under the Title:

American State Papers [Foreign Relations: Volume 3] : Index,INDEX TO FOREIGN RELATIONS. VOL. III.

The report title is: American Citizen in prsion Carthagena, South American, under the sentence of slavery.

photo identification - NY state militia?

nonnamarg2006 — 22 Jan 2008 2:33:51 GMT

Can anyone help me identify this military unit? I believe the photo was taken before 1911. The person I know in the photo - George Chatraw - indicated on his WWI registration in New York that he had served in the state militia. He was born in 1886, so I suspect the photo is somewhere between 1904 and 1910.

Any suggestions on how I may be able to find this man or information on him?

m_shonkwiler — 11 Dec 2007 9:01:28 GMT

Can anyone please tell me what it takes to get records for Uncles and GGrandparents. I am not a direct child but a grandchild and niece. It seems that the archives has eluded to let individuals in my case case get some kind of record for genealogy. And what hinders me more is that I am an adopted child but found biological family and am tracking that military data too. So what on earth is a person to do? I had to pay for my bio grandfather's records a few years back thru a company who had access to the records. They were worth the money but I think that being a grandchild of a deceased person I should still have some kind of access. Any thoughts on this

I'm looking for info on a James "Jimmie" Bishop. All my mother could tell me was that James died when she was a young child, from a plane crash. James, when he died, died from an plane accident, possibly in Texas, 1940-1950. He was in a training exercise. I'm not sure which branch of military he was in. All I have birth wise on James was that he was b. to a Charles Thomas Bishop and Mable M. in 1922, probably in Chicago, Illinois. When James joined the military, his mother Mable was remarried to a Charles Hardy. James also had a sister Lois. Any help would be appreciated.

Ships Of The World In War-1792-1815

dsegelquist — 31 Jul 2007 8:11:57 GMT

I would like to invite you to my new web site called ( Civil War Days & Those Surnames.) but don't let the title fool you it's not just about the Civil war, it's much more. This site not only deals with the Civil War but all the American Wars, up to the Spanish-American war and the surnames that go with it be it American or British or any other nation.

I'm here to tell you about my new page I just posted it's called ( Ships of the World-1792-1815 ) It has a listing of over nine hundred ships American, British and other nations. I invite you to come and look it over. If you are looking for a ship this is the site for you it also deals with the men that were impressed from these ships, so if you are looking into your family and need some information on a ship this site maybe a help to you. Below you well see some of the information that can be provided to you. I hope to hear from soon.

Note. Those of you who are just interested in the Genealogy part of the family and don't think this site is for you, how wrong could you be just as the Ware family was and how surprise they were when they found out their g-g-g-grandfather had a daughter and son by a Mulatto slave.

Then there's the Strachhan, Strahan, Strawhan family and how they found out they had a family mumber put in a orphanage by his father and later bounded himself to learn to be a waterman (Seamen) and was to join British navy only later to desert from His Majesty ship the Melampus to join the U. S. Navy. All ths information was found by looking up a ship name, so you see this site has something for ever one, come and see.

How to find military history if person died in 1943?

littlamb — 18 Jul 2007 4:27:43 GMT

I am looking for information regarding my husband's grandfather who died in 1943 at the Hines Veteran's hospital near Chicago, IL. My husband's father did not remember much about his father because he died young. We have a picture of him in what looks like a military uniform. Does not appear that we can get a copy of the Death certificate if not a direct decendant without a letter from an "agency" needing the death certificate. How do you go about finding military history in this situation? I have checked ancestry.com for any draft or war documents, etc. We are not even sure what branch of the military he was in.

Thanks,

Laura

How long are restricted files-restricted?

KimberlyEKnowlton — 27 Jun 2006 11:43:19 GMT

I just found a brief case full of my great-grandfather's military records. He worked in the aviation physiology and biochemistry parts of the Army Air Corps during WWII. A lot of these papers are red-lettered RESTRICTED.

I was wondering if there was a time limit on restricted materials, and if so, what that time limit is. I am compiling information for my web site and would like to put these papers on it, unless there is a reason I shouldn't put them on there.

Born at Mare Island in 1800's

jktking — 2 Feb 2007 1:23:31 GMT

I just found out where in California my great-grandfather, James Buchanan Meagher, was born. He was born at Mare Island either in 1855 or 1860. Mare Island would have been a new military installation at that time. I don't have the names of my great-grandfather's parents but am trying to find out. The family story is that James's father was in the military in Ireland and was recruited there to come to join the US military during the Mexican War, to help protect California. Does anyone know if the military recorded births at military installations during this time in history? Where I would find information pertaining to those in the military who were assigned to Mare Island around 1855-1860?

This is NOT the grandfather in the picture, but we are pretty sure it's an ancestor. Any help with the uniform and what country/era it might be from? It might be hard to see in the picture, but in addition to the gun he has a sword on his left side.
Thanks,
Jodi

Muslim slaves who served in the U.S. military

Shareda — 5 Sep 2006 1:02:45 GMT

I am looking for information of any slave who practiced Islam in America and served in the military. The religion will not be obvious but possibly through a name or behavior patterns would determine if they were Muslims. Anywhere from 10-20% of the slave population were Muslim. What one knows today about Islam is the same as it was back then.

Thank your for your help.

South Carolina Military Bases (ALL Branches)

Can anyone give me a listing of all military bases in S C?
Army,Marine,Air Force etc. and contact information for them.
I am hoping to obtain information about my late brother(died in 1988) military records. He was dishonrabley discharged back in the 1960's (between 1964-19666) after an AWOL.

I thought he had been in AF, but now I am second guessing my memory. Thank you for any assistance. I hope that a listing will jog my memory. There is no family to ask this of.

Thank you

Dishonorable discharge reason "SO 179"

geoear — 11 Dec 2005 6:54:31 GMT

Henry Peloquin (Henry Pelican - on his enlistment papers) was dishorably discharged from the US Army in Manilla, Philippines on 22 Sep 1900. The reason given was "SO 179." Does anyone know what that signifies or where I could find out? Henry was my half great-granduncle. He appears in the military in the 1900 census, but I've been unable to find him in any records following his discharge.

William Crosby, b. abt. 1846 in Maryland

BasketLady420 — 12 Nov 2005 6:41:40 GMT

William Crosby, age 24 and born in Maryland, is listed as a Soldier in the 1870 census for Socorro County, N.M.

I am not related to this person, I'm just passing on this information. I was looking through this census for someone else and noticed the list of Soldier names, so this must have been a fort they were at.

Kansas - elite guard, 1917, had to be tall?

PGroup2222 — 25 Oct 2005 9:28:01 GMT

This is such a long shot - but family stores tell of our
ancestor belonging to an elite guard where they all
had to be over six feet tall (maybe even taller). He
was from Washington County, Kansas. Just desiring
more information about this elite guard - history, etc.
He belonged around 1916 or early 1917. Do not
know if this was a state or national unit. Do not have
any more information - not much worm on the hook.
Thanks for reading this - Penny

I have a wonderful 8x10 photo of one group of young men from a CMTC believed to have been in Minnesota around 1931 or 1932. My Grandfather is in the photo and there are about 20 others identified - with 53 in-total pictured. I would love to be able to share this with others who may have ancestors in the photo, or with an organization dealing with historical images.

If you can direct me in any way, I would appreciate the help.

What War? picture

Rose — 3 Feb 2005 4:06:51 GMT

I hope someone can help me with this picture. I found it in my mothers things and it is the only war uniform picture I have. I believe it might be my great uncle Alex. All I know about him is that he died in France in 1918 during the war and that he was a corporal. There is writing indentations which I believe might be his name. If it is what I believe to be, than it may be the only picture I know of him. It also seems to be cut out from a bigger picture because of the styling of the cardboard it's on. I hope someone may know something about the uniform. Thanks for any help.

Searching for Military Records

A couple of years ago I wrote to Missouri requesting my grandfather's WWI military records as he served in the Navy. Because I am not what they consider "next-of-kin", they wouldn't provide me with them. The only next-of-kin would have been my mother but she died in 2001. What can I do to get these records? Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful.

How do I determine if my ancestor served in 1910-1912?

disneyroo — 1 Nov 2004 8:17:44 GMT

Does anyone know how to go about obtaining service records if we're not sure the person did serve in the military? I've been lead to believe that my great-grandfather may have joined "the service" sometime in 1910-1912, but I have no idea what branch of the service this may have been or if he really did. Is there a way to find this out???
