Today I recieved notice that I have been accepted into the lineage society Daughters of the Union Veterans of the Civil War. I am a direct descendent of a Union soldier, Jacob Strassburger, who served as a private in Illinois' volunteer infantry. He only served for 6 months, and later joined the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) post in Peoria.
For more information on this organization, go to http://duvcw.org/
Some of you might remember that just last spring I was accepted into the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR; http://www.dar.org/), via my ancestor William Fosdick. Honestly, I never imagined when I began my genealogical research so many years ago, that I would qualify and join any lineage societies, let alone two! If you have any questions about these two organizations, let me know!
Yay! Thanks for all of the hard work you've done, Kathy, to track our past! You rock!!!!!!
