BITS OF BLUE AND GRAY

The March article "The Civil War - A Family Connection"  is now available at  Bits of Blue and Gray - Home   OR http://www.genealogytoday.com/genealogy/states/bitsofblueandgray/ (Link updated 9/28/2020)

When you get to the website, just click on the title of the article and you will be (WERE transported - This column is now defunct) "transported" there.  The story this month is about Levi McCormick, my husband's ggrandfather of the 4th Delaware Volunteers.   You will find a picture of him and one of the many letters he wrote home during his three years in the war.  You can click on the picture or letter, you will bring up a much larger version.   While you're visiting the Bits of Blue and Gray homepage, be sure to check out the trivia question.  It changes everyday and gives the answer to yesterday's question today.  The guru Webmaster has also added Message Boards where you can "talk" to the authors, leave suggestions for future articles, trivia questions or just to stop and say hello.  Please stop and visit...

Thanks,  Jayne
