Watching my favorite show on PBS tonight, Finding Your Roots, I got a nice surprise. Clint Black (the singer) was on and apparently had a lot of family just in the 10th Texas Cavalry (who, of course, were later dismounted--I consider that bait and switch!). The Corley brothers were much like other families serving in the war, with some disastrous consequences. I'll let you watch the episode. Clint knew nothing about these guys, apparently, so like many of us, he's gone down the wormhole...I suspect he'll be researching a lot of his other relatives who probably fought. I know sometimes it seems overwhelming, but hang in there and keep banging away at that brick wall. Sometimes they crumble suddenly after years of frustration.
