But in case you missed that dialog, I just found one that seems to have all the pertinent answers for genealogists to milk the GAR for all it can give. Try the "Grand Army of the Republic Homepage" at: HTTP://pages.prodigy.com/CGBD86A/garhp.htm Notice that this URL does *not* start with "www.*****" and I copied this straight off the source/address line on the screen while the page was up, and checked it again against a printout. This homepage provides literally scores of Civil War resource sites on the web, most having nothing to do with the GAR. George Thurston Tallahassee w4mle@juno.com w4mle@worldnet.att.net
