Got interested in genealogy in 2018 when I received 3 photo albums from the late 1800s that belonged to my paternal grandmother. Since then, more and more photos from her collection have found their way to me, and in late 2021 I also received a collection from my maternal great-grandmother. Family names are: Lamb, Bryant, Smalley, Pointer, Baldwin, Reynolds, Chamness, Wise, Harter, Stockton, Williams, Bilbrey.

Staring with Memorial Day weekend 2023, I've been working on a project on WikiTree to create profiles for soldiers of the 5th Regiment United States Colored Infantry who died during the war. Always a thrill to find an existing profile here on FindAGrave to connect information to.
