Soldier Roots - Z

Can you tell me more? I am collecting short Biographies on each soldier from an Alabama unit to be displayed on the Soldier Roots pages. With each Bio, I will display the Email address of the contributor or contributors as source/contacts for other researchers. Send the following information to me, Carolyn Golowka.

Items needed for Bio, but will take anything I can get:

Soldier’s birth and death dates with locations and burial location.

Soldier’s parents names and birth and death dates with locations and burial location

Spouse’s name and birth and death dates with locations and burial location

Children’s names and birth and death dates with locations and burial location
