@Carazaa One thing I urge all people with old photos to do is to label them. l have hundreds of old photos with no label, and I have no ideal who they are or how they are related to me or my wife. Most of them are of her family around 1900.
My other great-great grandfather, their neighbor, was a POW and ended up in prison at Ft. Pulaski outside Savannah. I have the handwritten paper releasing him from prison. We don't know what he did, but we suspect he refused to sign an Oath of Allegiance after the war. He was required to sign since he was a local official.
He was lucky. Ft. Pulaski was where they sent a lot of the leading government officials of the Confederacy. I visited there a few years ago, and they had a casement set up like it was for the prisoners. Interesting.
