I do history tours and ghost hunts in Gettysburg. Last summer we had a lot of Australians on our history tours. And there a bunch of them who went back over there after the war and are buried over there. They even have US government headstones. There is a Sons of Confederate Veterans chapter in New Zealand. They have a website with locations of graves. I haven't looked at other countries for similar posts. Are there some in Germany? What reason did they have for coming here to fight? I find this all interesting. Tonight it is snowing here and I have a 6 hour long ghost hunt in Gettysburg. Thanks again for your response. Catch you later. Check into the chat room when you log on. I am usually there. Would love to talk to you.

There were a bunch of Germans fighting there. Have you run into any Wolfords or Wohlfords or similar names in your research? I specialize in that name. We also have a good chat group here. Please join us some time.
