Surnames of Navy Battles-Civil War. Page 4.

This is page 4, and the last of the lists of Surnames in navy battles. I did enjoy researching this information in my help to help you find your ancestors. But as I read and looked over the information, I found some things that may make it a little confusing as to know if you have found the right person or not. For a example you know your ancestor John Smith, was a seaman, and you think you found him, but it says he was handling the guns, so you pass the name by thinking it couldn’t be him. Be careful on this thinking one has to remember this information comes from battle reports, and as they were in battle they may be called on to do other duty’s. In battle one is called upon to do many other duty’s out side of the norm. In the heat of battle men were being killed and wounded and the need to replace them was great, and they took the men from other stations to replace them if they could.

Note. If you have any questions or need information on a name or report, you can find my address in my profile.
