This was quite a surprise. I was just pootling around on the web, keyed in the name of my great-grandfather, and bingo!Somebody out there wants to know about him!
I don't have my files at hand (I'm typing this from work), but I did some research on Matthew a few years back and was well rewarded.He went from Ireland to the U.S. (Pennsylvania) as a boy, fought at Gettysburg (and was wounded in Pickett's Charge) for the Union, etc.His family is mainly in South Dakota now (in and around the village of Gregory), but elsewhere as well, including Canada. I can e-mail, snail- mail or fax comprehensive information, but would also like to know where other family members are, who has more details, etc.
