Question. For those of you that have family members that fought in the confederacy (or union).
My great-great grandfather fought in the confederacy. I know his unit and everything. I know this for a fact based on a military record showing he had signed up. What I'm trying to figure out is - how do you know when they got out? I can't find anything showing when he LEFT service at all.
Just trying to pinpoint when he was in and out so I can figure out which battles he was at. I know for certain he was at Gettysburg, but I simply have nothing in any records to place his service in context; a fence to around it if you will to give me a bird's-eye-view of his service. I've found all this stuff through ancestry. But, any other suggestions?
