FINDING OUR PATRIOTS

This week we came upon a Bullis Collection book which could be useful for those of you who are researching ancestors who may have served our country more than a century ago. If this is your "thing," we think you will be interested in taking a look at:

Directory, Grand Army of the Republic,
Monroe County Patriots: G.A.R. Posts,
U.V.U Commands, Women's Relief corps,
Sons of Veterans, Ladies' Aids.

Thomas H. Lake is listed as the author of this book, and it was published in Rochester, NY by the Democrat & Chronicle (1899?). 

The book is well-organized and easy to use. In between the data are photos of local military leaders as well as unique advertisements for local products of that day. So even if you aren't searching for a specific patriot, we think you'll still enjoy spending some time with this book. (You're invited to do so.)
