The saga of being a family researcher. Or as other family members say: a full time non-paying job.

Book of the day [and this does have Memorial Day attribution] published
by the Maryland Commission on the publication of the histories of the
Maryland volunteers during the civil war. History and roster of Maryland
volunteers, war of 1861-5. Vol 2, Press of Guggenheimer, Weil &
co., 1898-99, 285 pages. It was a discard of the Historical Society of
Frederick County and I bought it at Wonder Book and Video [Thanks!]
years ago. Now the impressive facts about this book. As volume 2 in the
set, it includes a listing of all personnel of the Navy, Marines and
the United States Colored Troops. It was interesting to read the names
of those in the USCT who were transferred to the Navy, but only the
Navy. Thanks to them and the descendants of those that served.
