Faces Of The 20th., Michigan Infantry.

When researching our ancestors in the military one of the harder things to find is a picture of them while they are in uniform. The information on their military service is fairly easy to get, but the picture always seem to elude us. This page has 24, pictures of the men of the 20th., Michigan Infantry. I have given information on each of the men in the pictures. There are 6., pages and at the end of each page you will find a link to the pictures. Also note there will be a enlarging box, so you can enlarge them.
-----------------------------

Important Note. These links were working when I posted them, but they for some reason keep going down. I have reset them twice and they stay up for a while then they go down.
After you tried a couple times and can’t get through write to me and I will see that you receive a picture. dsegelquist1@cox.net
