8. How wonderful to have both pictures of him

especially one in his Union uniform. Do you see any family resemblances between him and your relatives on that side? I was surprised to see one in my civil war ancestor and my father (his great grandfather) when I looked at photos of both of them. Have you looked at your ancestor's civil war file at the National Archives? Sometimes you might find out some interesting things there. Oh, very handsome man too, at both ages!
