I'm Daniel Lynch's Great-Grandson, etc. « Result #4 on Jul 7, 2009, 7:56am »
Hi All,
I haven't been active with this post for some time, but I am the Great Grandson of Daniel Lynch who lost a leg in the battle of Spanish Fort, AL about two weeks prior to the war's end. I had corresponded some years ago with Robert Braun, but have been unable to re-connect with him. He was quite helpful and informative about the history of my relative. Can anyone tell me how to get ahold of him and if he's gotten his book, a history of the 33rd published yet?
Anyway, I'm glad to be back and will try to check in from time to time. Members who want or need to email me can do so at: lsjegan@q.com.
I appreciate whatever information I can get. My best to you all.

Re: Another 33rd Wisconsin relation « Result #5 on Jul 30, 2008, 10:17pm »
As I was going through some additional family information, I came across a rather convoluted web of family relations, most with ties to Scotland all in Grant County during the late 1850s and Civil War period. Of these, a number were D Company men, including an uncle Peter Thornton. One other name of interest, John Morrow, who married John Leighton's widow Helen after the war came up. I have not been to the cemetery in a few years, but I seem to recall mention that he too was a member of D Company on his headstone. I seem to have a lot of relations in Grant County even now, but as a current member of the military, it is hard to imagine a unit with as many direct relations or ones by marriage, but I suppose this was fairly commonplace during the period. Separately, I passed through Bloomington while home on leave recently and things were very much as I remembered them as a kid, having all the flavor of an mid-19th century town from that corner of Wisconsin or even northwestern Illinois. Having deployed to Iraq in 2006, it is still a marvel to think of the kind of adventure and life changing experience that the men from such a small corner of America were departing for in 1862.

HHM Late Summer & Fall Events 2007 « Result #7 on Aug 11, 2007, 1:04pm »
Hi gents,
Long time since I have posted here with the ONV site running but here are some event reminders for late summer and fall events.
Just a heads up that if you have not registed for Lee's Final Retreat at Old World Wisconsin please do so. The ONV needs your support at this one if possible.
Outpost III is also looking to get registrations in as well. If you have not yet, please do so. This looks to be a good one.
And for those adventerous folks, if anyone is interested in attending the Iron Brigade Reunion in Milwaukee, post here or send me an e-mail at fallriversoldier@hotmail.com
We are looking for those whom attend to be in civilian attire and represent some of the acutally members from an 1880's reunion.
