Finding Your Ancestors in Civil War Prison Camps, with Mary Anne Vincent Wednesday May 21, 2014

Picture
Mary Anne Vincent’s great-great-great uncle died at Andersonville in 1864.  The great-great uncle of another member of our society spent almost two years in Union prisoner-of-war camps in Ohio and Illinois.  How is your family connected to Civil War prisons?  Do you have relatives with yet-untold stories of capture and confinement by the enemy?

Mary Anne Vincent is a member of the Corona Genealogical Society and has served on its Board of Directors for seven years.  She is also the new Secretary of the California State Genealogical Alliance.
 
Mary Anne taught grades 6-12 for several decades and now is an occasional substitute teacher for the Riverside County Office of Education. 
 
She has been working on her family tree since 1971 and has recently completed a book on one line of her father’s side (published by CreateSpace and also found on Amazon.com).  As part of the research for the book, she has been in touch with literally dozens of second, third, fifth, and seventh cousins, each of whom generously provided family information.
