Hi folks - been a while since my last post from Limeyland but I've been plugging away in the background. Anyhow I've come up with a bit more info about one of my ancestors.
Felix J. O'Neil b1839 Ireland, died 1882 New York City.
His obit reads:
“friends and members of companies I and K, Twelfth regiment N.G.S.N.Y. are invited to attend the funeral”
Lo and behold he appears in Dowley's History and Honorary Roll (1869) as a Corporal of I Company with date of warrant given as 27-08-1867. Unfortunately this date is post Civil War so I can't be sure if he saw service during the Civil War.
I can't find any info for Felix on any musters for this regiment during the CW so does anyone know how I'd go about or where to go for post CW to see if he'd been in another regiment prior to his 1867 commission date?
Appreciate any suggestions.
