More on Esther Graves
I heard back from the National Archives where I had requested Esther Graves' penion record. They were very sorry, but apparently, when they did a search, all they found was a note that her documents had gone missing in 1910. How disappointing!
Sept. 24, 2011: The Maine Genealogical Society has invited Lyn Sudlow to speak at their conference in Bangor. There will be copies of the book "A Vast Army of Women" available for sale and signing.
In preparation for the Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War, the Falmouth Memorial Library staff is creating this site to share information about the role women played in the war effort.
