Sheri,

It’s one of those things that “just happen”. I watched this TV program and the next morning I listen to Dr. Tom Jones presentation. I knew I had a good case to try it out on.

I have in the back of my mind, that in the next week or two, I will be going to Gettysburg. My guess is, that I will have to go there to find the “missing” piece of the puzzle.

And it’s in keeping with the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War. Why not put Genealogy and the Civil War into one project AND to try out a new research tool.

Thank you for the encouragement.

Russ

Most interesting little project you have and appears to fit the inferential genealogy case study perfectly because I don’t think you will find any one piece of evidence that will answer your questions.

I look forward to reading more on this adventure.

Oldcat,

I am not a Gettysburg expert at all. I do thank you for your information. I will look into this further.

What appeared in the History Channel’s show, was that the two gentlemen fought each other on 7/2 and 7/3 and both were from Maryland.

Another mystery to solve in this exercise. Thank you,

Russ

Its not likely that any man on Culps Hill participated in Pickett’s charge. The units on Culp’s Hill were part of the Confederate 2nd Corps. The units in Pickett’s charge were from the 1st and 3rd Corps.

Susan,

Would really like to have some hints, if you have some.

Do you have any Worthington’s in your Family?

Thank you,

I also have Ridgely’s and Howard’s in my family. I happen to own a copy of the Riggs Family of Maryland and will check this book to see if there’s information in there.
