Is there anyone who could help me with a question?
My ggrandfather Mathew James Kee immigrated to the US via the New York coast of Lake Erie, from Ballynahinch, County Down, Ireland. I do not know if he spent time in Canada. I found new information (to me it is new) that during the civil war young men where taken from the ships and were made to sign up to fight in the war.
How can I find his name in civil war records as having served?
I have record of him 1863 and then not until 1870 when he shows up in Erie, Penn. as owning property and working for the LS&MS railroads.
I would appreciate any help.
