Chick-A- Deedle asked:
I’m looking for the military service records of six men that served in the Union Army during the Civil War. These men were from three different countries and were more than likely yanked off the boat and handed rifles before even becoming citizens through typical means, just a quick oath and a march off to war.

Does anyone have a notion where I might be able to find any records of immigrants put in the service then?
The men were executed in Andersonville prison in 1864, convicted by a trial and jury of their fellow prisoners under the permission of Captain Wirz.
If anyone knows how to even start me out on a lead of finding any of their surviving or distant relatives I’d appreciate it.
Please note: I have their names and the journaled account of the trial and execution. I am looking for LEGAL GOVERNMENT papers with their names, counties of origin in their native countries (Ireland, Canada and England) and the names of any relaitves that might have been listed as next of kin
