New member from GA

[bluefox85]

Hey guys. My name is Calvin, I'm new here. Last night I was reading up on the Sons of Confederate Veterans, which made me want to become a member. I'm very fortunate to have a family history book that is over 500 pages long and goes back to the 1600s. After reading through the book today, discovered I had 6 ancestors that fought for The Confederate States of America. Four of them were in the 50th Regiment in Co's I, C, and G. 1 in the 29th, and 1 that I need to do a little more research on.

Last night I was on a page that had the Broadfoot's Roster (before I had all of their names), and now I can't find the link again. It was divided up by last name link/headers like: Abraham-Anderson, Andrews-Astin,etc.. etc... Any help would greatly be appreciated. I look forward to learning much on this forum!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I finally found the site I was looking for:
http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/berrien/military/civilwar/rosters/coi50reg.txt
I found much more information when I used "Roe" instead of "Rowe". It saddens me to know that I had 4 ancestors die in Company I 50th GA Regiment (3 Roe's and 1 Connell.) Some made it 2 months into the war, some made it 2 years. Connell is buried hundreds of miles from his family and our relatives in a WV cemetery, he never had kids or married.

When I went to that roster, (http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/berrien/military/civilwar/rosters/coi50reg.txt) I saw "Ezekiel Roe", he would be my great, great, great grandfather. In our family history book there is no mention of him being in the CSA, yet he appears on that roster. I'm not sure if this is him or not, but it sounds like it...since they were all from the same community, same last name, same enlistment date, and I know he was born in 1843 which would make him a strong candidate along with his brothers/cousins. I don't know if this is my grandfather or not, but I'd like to find out for sure. Then I'd have a 7th to add to my list, one of whom I am a direct descendant. My aunt that spent 25 years writing this book passed away a few years ago, so it's up to me to find out for sure.
