 are you doing today? We are bringing WikiTree Friday bingo to you and we're going to start with the U.S. Civil War project later on tonight for our second bingo. We're going to have the Anzac. So this is kind of a military day for us here and I want to welcome you to WikiTree bingo. If you have been here before we're going to do it a little different. Usually we have a guest here with us and our, the PL, Pam Kreitzer of the U.S. Civil War is running just a little bit late and also she's a little camera shy. So she's going to be in the chat in just a few moments and any questions you have feel free to start chatting away because she's going to try and answer them. And then what I'm going to try and do is complement what the questions are and the answers with the bingo that we're doing on live screen here. So first right off the bat for those of you that may not know enough about the U.S. Civil War, maybe you know you're not in America. This is a global company that we're working with. Let me give you a little presentation on the Civil War. Like I said, we're going to do things just a little bit different. So hang tight and let me, before I guess I have to start make sure everybody has their bingo card. So I'm going to place it in the chat. Go ahead and grab your first bingo card and let's get started. So this is the U.S. Civil War, the war between the states. And the American Civil War was fought between 1861 and 1865. The war was really between the northern states and the southern states. The northern was called the Union and the southern was called the Confederacy. In essence, the war was fought over the issue of slavery. The southern states wanted to keep slavery. They had the plantations and slavery was their workforce, while the northern states wanted to abolish it completely. And this is what led to that great divide. The first shot of the Civil War was fired at Fort Sumter, South Carolina, on April 12, 1861. And then the war ended on April 9, 1865, when the Confederate soldier, General Robert E. Lee, surrendered to General U.S. Lease as grant at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia. And there were three major theaters with this war. Everybody just kind of thinks it was either in the south or it was at Gettysburg. And that's the key name of battle that everybody knows. But there were different theaters for this war. There was the Eastern Theater, the Western Theater, and the Trans Mississippi Theater, which does carry over a little bit further west than most people realize. These are just a list of some of the most famous battles of the Civil War. I think everybody's probably heard of Gettysburg, the battle of Gettysburg, the battle of Antietam that's in Maryland, that's actually in Washington County, Maryland, which is in Appalachia, the battle of Shiloh, the battle of Vicksburg, and then the battle of Atlanta. And I'm sure everybody's heard the phrase Sherman marching through Atlanta. This is kind of something that I learned along the way. I always was told that the war was the bloodiest war in American history that more than 620,000 soldiers died in war. I never really took into account the war for civilians, what happened to them. And more than 50,000 civilians died. And because their homes were destroyed along the war, and we just mentioned Atlanta, for example, Sherman did go through the south and go through Georgia and go through Atlanta to the water. A lot of those homes were completely destroyed. Those people did not have any homes left. It just as much as up north, those homes were destroyed as well. For those of you that might not be familiar with the American system of government, that this war did have a significant impact on the United States government. We tend to let the states have a lot of power. But because of this war, the federal government strengthened during it, giving it a little bit more power. That power was taken away from the states. So the federal government was strengthened and the power of the states was weakened during this war, mostly after this war. And the war ended when the Confederacy surrendered. And that is what led to the end of slavery in the United States. The 13th Amendment to the Constitution abolished slavery in our country. And I will say that this comment is probably an understatement that the American Civil War is a very complex and bloody conflict. It had a tremendous impact on the United States, but it is still studied and debated today. This is not an easy subject to talk about. So I appreciate you guys as you listen and we go through profiles that you keep this from a genealogical standpoint. We're not in here to debate whether statues should be there or not or flags should be there or not. That's not what this is about. This is really just about the genealogical aspect. And it is a complex topic. It's not an easy topic. Okay. So who's ready for some hints and tips that you might not have known? The first baseball game was played during the Civil War. It was played on June 19th, 1862 in Hoboken, New Jersey. And the Civil War was the first war in which railroads played a major role. Both sides used railroads to transport troops and supplies. Probably one of the biggest things that come to my mind is John Brown's raid in Harpersbury, West Virginia. Harpersbury, West Virginia was a very large railroad system with the troops and supplies. And then the Civil War was also the first war in which photography was used extensively. Photographers captured images of the war, both on the battlefield and at home. They did so for magazines, Harpers magazine, and also for newsletters. So that gives you, and let's go ahead and get started. So if you guys have any questions, let us know. This project is really a cool one. You will be surprised at this project, I think. First, right off the bat, let me introduce you to Pam. I don't think she's in chat yet, but let me introduce you to Pam. Pam Preitzer is the project leader, and this is a large job that she's doing. She's actually pulled this together, I guess, maybe two years ago, and started doing challenges. She has monthly challenges for the Civil War project that are really fun. So if you like mini challenges, not MA, NY, but MINI, if you like the mini ones, then the Civil War project is a great one to get started with. And let's talk about the project itself. Here we go. Just like every project with Wiki Tree, the way to join is go to the project page, scroll down, and you'll see the box. I always call it the infamous box. And in that, there is a link to GGG, where you can join the project. Very simple. There's GGG, so you want to join and tell them that you want to help out. The next thing I want to talk about is stickers. Who wants to talk about military stickers, specifically the Civil War? This seems to be a really big topic, and I see a lot of you are already chatting away, so that's pretty cool. So this is good. I've been discovering the Civil War ancestors and adding their profiles to Wiki Tree. Been to Gettysburg, and I will say that it is what a place. That's a great way to explain it. I grew up for a bid in Maryland, so our field trips were either down to D.C. to the museums or to all the Civil War. So Gettysburg, Antietam, Harpersbury, those were really big areas. If you have not been, definitely make sure that you go. And I want to do a shout out. Hi, everyone. She's my bingo body. Okay. Let's talk about stickers. Anybody have a question about the Civil War sticker? I'm going to be surprised if no one has a question about it. And the good news is, Pam has given us the information to use. I know when it comes to the Civil War stickers I use that I am a bit challenged with them. I've been using them forever, but I am a bit challenged with them. And then I read something that Pam had wrote on G2G, and thankfully she put it here on the project page itself that was like a light bulb going off. It was really, really brilliant. So she has all the stickers for you. The stickers are here. The templates are here. All you got to do is copy and paste. But the thing is, you really need to know the regiment name, and you can usually find that in your source documents. For me, I have found a combination of Family Search, Ancestry, and Fold3 to be a great resources to find that regiment. Also, I am working on a Georgia regiment, and our state archives have fabulous records on what happened to the soldiers after the war and also the compensation they got. So if you don't find, within Family Search, Ancestry, Fold3, and I know Fold3 and Ancestry are a paid service, check with somebody in the project. I guarantee somebody probably is paying for that, and they could do a quick look up for you. But if you don't find the records that you're looking for in those three items, check the state archives for where the soldier is. If it's Georgia, if it's Maryland, even New York. If it's, you know, check the state archives. They really do have good records, especially when it comes to the compensation. A lot of times the widows also got compensation. So they are listed in a lot of different places. Okay, so the Civil War sticker. This is right off the bat. Let's talk about it. The biggest mistake in confusion is caused by having both a regiment name and a unit parameter. In the regiment name, and this is the part I want you guys to go away with, in the regiment name, it is free text. You can write whatever you want there. It is not going to categorize based off the regiment name. That is free text. This is great for those soldiers who served multiple times, different places, different regiments, different units. You can put it all there. You can put Sam Jones served in the 105th Ohio regiment, and he also served in the 38th Georgia regiment. Don't trust me on those regiment numbers, by the way, I'm making them up. So you can put whatever you need right there. So the other good thing to do is these categories for the Civil War have pretty much already been created. It's very rare that you're going to need one created for you. And the best way, and the best suggestion I have for it is my little way of doing it. When I am adding a soldier, and when I'm editing the profile and the biography, and you go to add categories, and you have that little category box, I'll show you in a minute, you have that little category box, I just start typing in like 105th, and it'll pop up a whole bunch of options for me. And then I know that is the exact name of the category that needs to go in the sticker. If you don't want to do all that, if you just want to say that they served in the Civil War, then at the very minimum, guess what? Here you go. Just do the curly brackets, U.S. Civil War, the pipe, side equals, and it's either going to be USA or CSA. It's not going to be spelled out United States or Confederacy. It's USA or CSA. If you just want the basic, do this, and then just add the category like you normally would for a cemetery or a location. This is the easiest thing to do, and I can tell you I do this most often. It just seems the easiest way to do it. And also I want to mention that there are other stickers that we'll talk about a little bit later. Those are the World Honor stickers, prisoners that have died, prisoner of war, those that died of disease. Disease was a major issue during the U.S. Civil War. There was typhoid, there was flu, and there was so much disease going through, a little bit of smallpox as well. So keep in mind that those are different stickers. What you want to do is include this USA Civil War sticker, and then you can also include if they were a POW sticker as well. And don't fret, we're going to go through it in just a minute. And I agree. Curleys are different. I will warn everybody too. My internet is tethered today, so it's a little laggy. Let's see what you guys got. So my third great-grandfather, Levi Abernathy, was with Lee at the surrender. That's pretty cool, Theresa. And two of his brothers were captured just before that. One other third great-grandfather died in Winchester, Virginia, from wounds, suffered at Antietam. And you know what I would do with this? And I'm sure you already have because Theresa's really good about her biographies. I would put this information throughout each of these individuals. So when you go to read the profile, that you could see the whole history of the family that's in there. And I agree. Fold 3 does sometimes have days with free access. Anytime there's a military or national holiday, Fold 3 almost always has free access. I have not seen a discount for Fold 3 in a very long time. If anybody has, you know, let us know. This is really cool. So you guys are really here. I have six direct ancestors, three on each side. That's pretty cool. And let's see. Stephen has the Wisconsin volunteers, the 12th infantry. And I'm glad you spelled 12 that way. So if you're going in a profile looking for the category here, you would actually use the number and not spell out the word. But I'm glad that you mentioned that because that gives us an opportunity to showcase how to find the category real quick. And let's see. Oh, Margaret, I'm so glad that Margaret's here. So Margaret shared an interesting story in Appalachian Project not long ago. This is something I did not know. But Shiloh is part of the bigger battle of Corneth. So there is that Appalachian connection because, you know, we're always looking for that in our project. And it's the most pristine battlefield I've visited. I will tell you that Margaret does visit this battlefield. And there was something I didn't know. Margaret educated all of us that there was a large pit grave of where bodies went. And Margaret, if you want to share a little bit more in the chat, that would be great. I had no idea. I thought maybe every soldier was at least tried to be named with a grave individual grave or read back to their home or to their side of the country. And this is true. A lot of areas in Virginia have been seated with metal. That's a good question. They're working on making stickers simple. But the simplest way to go is just that curly bracket, U.S. Civil War with the pipe side equals and it's USA or CSA and then add the category as you would normally add categories. This is the way I do it most of the time. It just seems the easiest way for me to remember. And also for those of you that have the wiki tree browser extension, don't forget the clipboard and the notepad. You can keep this type of information in there. So anytime you have a Civil War soldier, you can just paste it in there real quick and just add CSA or USA. Okay. Who else has some? Let me scroll back down and see what you guys got. There we go. My third great-grandfather died in the prison camp in Danville, Virginia. And we're going to talk a little bit about prison camps in just a moment, specifically Andersonville. I can say that one of my ancestors went through two prison camps and one of it was Point Lookout, Maryland. And he wrote a book. He wrote a small book about it that I have up on his profile that explains his entire journey through the U.S. Civil War. Kind of fascinating, especially for us that are descendants to read about that. And here's another one. My fourth great-grandfather, Philo Lane. So Lane-14798. We will try and bring that up, too, for you. And there's... Mark again. My third great-grandfather was a POW at Fort Delaware in his son. My great-great-grandfather was a POW two times. And she works a lot with the Tennessee, the USA side, because many men in her county served in this unit. So that's a great way, too. If you want to get involved with the Civil War, and if you are in America, you either pick an ancestor and build out their unit. Or if you're in a special location that the Civil War went through. That's another great way to go. And Laura W had multiple ancestors that served in the CSA, mostly in Alabama regiments. And some don't have grades. They're likely buried. That was shocking to me, Laura. I did not realize how many mass graves. I thought there would be few, but I did not realize, number one, how many mass graves there were, or how many individuals were in those mass graves. That was the one that really, really shocked me a lot. And thank you, Margaret, for talking about this. There are five large trenches for CSA soldiers at Shiloh, and two CSA soldiers buried with Mark Gray's at the National Cemetery. You should definitely, if you want to explore a little bit more, these have become national parks as well. So definitely explore that and learn about not only the battles on the battlefield, but also the cemeteries. Almost all of them have cemeteries, battlefields have cemeteries attached to them. And my third great-grandfather was too old to join when he went with his sons to join up. So he got his gun and went anyway. But he was killed at the Battle of Rosaca, where Cannonball took his head off. Oh, it's the need that's terrible. Now, I know Cindy, so this is really interesting because Cindy lives not far from the Battle of Rosaca. So this has got to really be in your backyard as well. And I love it, Cindy. You're working on your ancestors and sharing the information. And here's another one that second great-grandfather was a POW. And my great-great-grandfather Edward Flood served with Company D. First Minnesota. Well, that's interesting. During the Civil War, he was an Irish immigrant and died in 1916 in Minnesota. And that's another tip his regiment is listed on his headstone and find a grave. So if you can't find records a lot of times, the tombstones will have it. And then you can just add that regiment as a category if you want. Okay. So I think that everybody is getting kind of the hang. I will tell you, I think this was the first project I joined. I joined WikiTree in 2016. And I think this was the very first project I joined. And you might ask, why? And it was because I had so many ancestors that bought in the war. My family is from Virginia, which turned into West Virginia. So I had so many ancestors in the war. I figured that this was just an easy project to join. And it was. It was great. And now that I've learned how to do the easy sticker and add to categories, I love it even better. It's just so easy to do. And let's see if we've got a Susan had a great-great-great great-great-great-great-great uncle who served in Oregon Regiment in the war. So he's a vet, but never in the main theater. But that still qualifies for the U.S. Civil War Project, which is kind of cool. And Kathy has some ancestors who serve, but needs to go through them again and see which family line. And that's interesting to Kathy because I know you have some lines that go up to New York. And there are definitely soldiers that were from New York. As a matter of fact, one of the largest hospitals that treated the Confederacy from the soldiers injured at Gettysburg was in New York. And I agree with Carol, the National Park Service workers provide outstanding information on the battles. It definitely, you know, I say this a lot. Definitely go. If you're not doing anything this summer, COVID's over. Let's get out. Let's go see history in the National Park. So a fabulous job with the battlefields, not just the Civil War. Williamsburg, for example, in Yorktown and Jamestown. Trust me, you go to those three, you'll be amazed. But if you go to Gettysburg and then hop over to Antietam, you'll be amazed at the information that you can find. And let's me bring up some cool profiles. So I love this one. This one is one of the Civil War Project's favorite ones. So this one is John Lincoln Clem. I love this because look at his little picture. It is a picture of him when he was younger. And here are the categories that we mentioned. This one is Project Protected. So that's why you see this big sticker here. This one's Project Protected. But look at this little picture. I mean, this is just amazing to me. Don't worry, he grew up. And you notice, too, that they have multiple stickers. So even though they have the category up here for his unit and for his accommodations, he also has the stickers for the war. And a general sticker saying that he was in the Spanish American War as well, and always in Ohio. This picture just is amazing. Look at all these medals. This is a fabulous profile. It was done really well. And there he is as an adult. And then you can read a little bit more. I think that the interesting thing was this. You'll find these records. This one that's kind of yellowish, brownish. You'll find these a lot on fold three. So if you don't have a fold three subscription, definitely ask. You can also ask on G2G or find me. I have a fold three. Find me somewhere on Discord and or on that Blatch Project and tell me you need to look up and I'd be more unhappy to look up for you any military record, not just the Civil War. So this was kind of cool. This is what a really well done profile looks like with all the details of his life. And so he was the drummer boy at Chickamauga. And Chickamauga was kind of at the Georgia, Tennessee border. So just as a little child, he was already in the war. Okay. Does everybody have their bingo card? I'm going to put it up one more time. Okay. I know. Isn't that crazy, Richard? The boy is already a sergeant. I mean, it's just an amazing profile. It's amazing. Fine. I don't know the project managers. I don't know if they're related to this individual or they just stumbled on them during their research with the Civil War. But I love this profile. It shows you a little bit about the inside power that people had of wanting to defend their side, whether it was North or South. And this is why this is a very complex war for us. And this is why we Americans are still debating this war to this day. I don't really understand why it's so much of a debate as opposed to some other wars that we have, like World War II. We've learned from it and we've moved on. But this one still is talked about quite often. And this is cool. So Petersburg, Virginia is, I'm glad you mentioned, is another fabulous area, a huge, huge battleground area. And also, that's kind of where they staged a lot of troops. Definitely go see that. And if we're talking about Revolutionary War II while throwing Grandfather Mountain in the Carolinas, so there's lots of history out there. And definitely go find it. Let's talk about bingo now. Everybody got their cart? Let me start it up. Okay, now Pam, I was hoping she'd make it in here because she gave me the word. So I'm going to try and go through and guess. Maybe you guys know the answer why she picked these words. We have 50 words. So we're going to start with 25. Now, before we do bingo, let me explain the bingo rules to you. If you have won already, you're not eligible to win a prize yet. Wait till after June. We got to get past some dates in June. So you've got a little bit ways to go. To win at bingo, you got to get horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. All the answers, just horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. The first person that types in the chat, bingo, bingo, bingo, or just bingo, wins. So if five of you win bingo at the same time, whoever's the first one that types it into chat is the actual winner. Now, if somebody says bingo, do not close down your card because we've had an interesting phenomenon happen. In a lot of our bingo games, people have been saying play on and they've been saying they don't want the prize to play on and let somebody else have the prize. So let's confirm that the winner does want the prize and doesn't want to play on. So do not close your card yet until we confirm the winner. So you guys ready? I know Stephen. Stephen, I think you were maybe the first bingo winners that we had that first game. So let's go. And you guys last know when you get really close as well. So Regiment, this is the part of the sticker text that is free text. Roll of Honor. We're going to talk about that in a minute. Roll of Honor kind of talks about those that have died, whether they died because they were in battle of disease, being a prisoner, being captured. They died as any way possible throughout the Civil War. We call this Roll of Honor. Actually we call this Roll of Honor for anybody who died in any war. Georgia is one of the states of the Confederacy Union. And we know now after the brief introduction that Union is the Northern states. Texas. I'm a little lost at Texas. I think there was a text, there were some Texas regiments. I'm not sure where they fought though. I'm going to assume that they fought in the Western Mississippi theater. But I do not know exactly where they fought Mississippi. And they are in the Southern half. Stephen, you're two away already. Fort Sumter. And now we know too that Fort Sumter is the place where the Civil War started. They fired the first shot. And Fort Sumter would be the Confederacy. Unit is a military term. How the men are put into units or regiments. Alabama is part of the Confederacy. I'm going to give you guys a little bit time to catch up. I think I went a little fast. Yoku. Did you, I don't think you won at Bingo yet, right Yoku? That's great. We got a bingo. That was quick. Alabama must have been the thing that did it for you. Okay. So I think, nope. That's what I thought. I didn't think you had. Okay. So Yoku, let me tell you what you need to do. This is real easy. So you're going to email Aowyn and tell her that you won the bingo and she is going to give you kind of the keys to the store. So to speak, she's going to give you the information of where to go to get your prize. It's up to $30. It's a really nice prize. And I will go ahead and show everybody that this has been the most popular. You can tell it's kind of chilly. This has been the most popular prize, the Friday night bingo mug. But there's shirts, there's tote bags, there's other mugs as well. So make sure to email Aowyn and tell her that you won the bingo, one of the bingos for the US Civil War. And she will get all the information out to you. You won't have to do any of that digging or anything else that she'll let you know. So lots of things to choose from. It's all wiki tree branded, cool, awesome things. Okay, let's keep playing. So I've got a couple more things to share with you. I know I do. I love my bingo mug. I sometimes take it in my car when I'm going to the bank or to the drug store and they're like, what's that mug? So it's kind of curious to be that they like it too. Let me show you a couple more things that I love about the Civil War project. And I think you're going to love them too. Here is another profile from the Civil War project. And for those of you that don't know what all these things are, I think everybody knows. I have wiki tree browser extension. So because of that, it tells me that Isabelle is 14 degrees from me. And she was married quite a few times. But she was also, from Martinsburg, Virginia, you'll see it says now West Virginia. Remember in 1863, that part of West Virginia we know is now broke off from Virginia because Virginia was part of the Confederacy and the what that part of West Virginia wanted to be part of the North. The USA side does not mean everybody that broke off in the West Virginia state became part of the North. There were the classic brothers against brothers that happened in my own family, that some went to fight for the North and some went to fight for the South. But this was Bella's is really interesting rate. Definitely something that you should look at when we're done with this because she was actually part of the war and shot and killed Union soldiers and was a spy. I'm just going to go through the profile. This is another lovely profile too. I mean, look at this profile, the pictures, everything. This is really, really cool. And I love it because they dispel some myths as well. But this is a really well done profile. You can tell why it is also being protected by the project. And I will copy that and drop that link in the chat if anybody wants to explore and read the profile later. All these profiles are worth a read. They are awesome. Okay, and then let me move on and give you guys the bingo card number two before we go and explore a little bit more. Okay, that gives you a chance to pick up your second bingo card. And then we're going to move on and talk about Sarah Emma Evans. I just found out about her last night. I was doing some Civil War research myself and I just found out about her last night. There is one big false rumor that's out there about her. She is sometimes listed as the first American woman that was killed in battle. And that's not true. As you can see is her date of death. She did not die in battle. But a lot of people have this theory that she really did die in battle. Not true at all. So that was an interesting read for me to learn about the falsehoods that people are putting on certain, I guess, soldiers. She's not really a soldier, though, but she actually dressed as a man to go fight in the war. And she was injured. And that's when they had to realize when they were taking off her clothes to treat her injuries that she was not a man. She was actually a woman in disguise. And she did so so she could fight in the war. There's a book out about her. It's an awesome book. I started paging through it last night as well. The mysterious private Thompson. So that was her name in the war. And I will drop that link as well because it's really cool story. If you're a history lover, this project's for you. This is a really, really good one. Okay, let me go back up. And let me discuss a project that is like no other war project probably on wiki tree, the 105th Ohio volunteer infantry. I really wish Catherine was here. Catherine created this. And if you happen to see her presentation on wiki tree day, she did a great job of explaining for soldiers. And this is kind of a passion project for Catherine. Her profiles are amazing. She decided to adopt this 105th and create the profiles for it. And when I say create the profiles for it, I don't think that gives it enough justice. What she's done is not only create them, but look at all the companies that are within this particular unit. That's a lot of soldiers. And what she's doing is she's doing one by one creating profiles for them would love to help. If you guys want to jump in and help her, she's doing really, really well with this. But this is a huge project. It's a fabulous one, but it's a large one. So if you would love to help, definitely do it. She says that the goal is there's 1099 soldiers. And the current status is 775 that are entered. So there's a lot of work still left to do. Let me go ahead and pick one. And I just wanted to show, this is my slow internet today. So bear with me. I just wanted to show you one of the profiles she's done and show you the amazing work. I tend to work on Civil War soldiers in Georgia. And I copy Catherine a lot. I won't lie. I love her work. So she details everything is she's got this amazing source that she has. That's why she started this where the soldiers wrote letters to home. And she's putting these letters on these profiles and they're amazing. They're detailed. They are sometimes heartbreaking how some of the soldiers miss home. They write to their mothers or their sweethearts. It's amazing these letters. So if you're interested in helping with the 105th grade, if you don't have the time to help out or this is out of your area of research, just go and read some of the profiles in the letters. They are amazing to see. And I will drop the link for the 105th as well. What's cool about this too, Catherine just told me this week that when she did a Google search for 105th, her wiki tree page comes up as second on a Google search. So that was kind of cool too. Okay. I see a lot of you are dropping links that you want me to see. So let me see if I can come back. If I miss any and everybody gets your bingo cards up. Okay, Donna, let me see. I think you dropped Armistat if I not mistaken. There we go. Let me let me bring this up. Let's see. 1116. There we go. Donna, are you related to this person? And this is a Georgia. This is a Georgia boys. Well, look at all the relatives as well. That was a lot of work to put in in the sticker. There we go. So William served with the company H, the 11th Georgia Infantry. And he went to Sharpburg and Manassas. And those are some of the biggest battles too. If you're going to go up to Sea Gettysburg and Antietam, you got to see Manassas. It's kind of almost a straight diagonal line almost. And he walked home to his farm in North Georgia from Appomattox. That gives you chills. I don't know how many days, weeks that took him, but he walked home to his home. And that's another thing to point out. These guys didn't get plane rides back home. A lot of them didn't have horses. That wasn't something that was easy to do. A lot of them did walk home. Another thing that I like about this profile that's done is she's put in the memories. So that kind of stands out a little bit so you can see the information. Just a little snippet, just like a little teaser to get to his profile. And I agree. And he led the CSA to the high water market Gettysburg. And I agree. Nice job, Donna. A list of Texas regiments, not where they fought. Okay, Richard, I don't feel so bad then because I do not know where they fought. Usually we have a Texan in there. And the 105th that Catherine's done is amazing. So if you guys want to adopt a regiment, go to Catherine's page and feel free to copy her information. That's what we have done. She welcomes it. If you don't want to work on hers, you want to do your own, she welcomes that information. Also on her page is her WikiTree Day presentation. That's worth a see as well. And she does. It is a passion project first. She got started. And that's how it went. Okay. Thank you, Mar. Texas definitely fought at Corneth and Shiloh. Okay, so who has a bingo card ready? Let's go ahead and do the second bingo. And then I'll show you just a couple more things before we wrap up. I agree. That's another one, Frithersburg. See, I glued up in that area and I keep forgetting all the ones that we used to have as field trips. It was great. When I was a kid, we went on four field trips a year. And they had to start finding things to do. So we went to the battlefields. Okay, the Navy. There was a Navy, believe it or not, back there in the Civil War. Wounded in action. That is actually a sticker code. Arkansas, one of the states that broke away. Corporals. Female spies. And this is kind of something I don't think a lot of people think about. The men were away. And a lot of times the females back home were spies in their local area, especially on some of the border areas that they would go and find out information they would deliver food, eggs, bread, things like that. And they would act as spies. Sometimes they would dress men's clothing and act as spies as well. In the Battle of Williamsburg. Again, I cannot tell you that the Williamsburg Yorktown Jamestown, the triangle is what they call it, so worth a visit. You know, Williamsburg is multi-war. It's not just a Civil War. And of course, Jamestown and Yorktown are not really Civil War era, but they're still worth going. If you can only go to one and if you're interested in war and battle and history, I would do Jamestown and then Williamsburg and then Yorktown. And can and scans were widely used throughout the Civil War. And who's going to go watch a Civil War movie tonight? I saw somebody mention the Lincoln movie. I love that one. Diet of disease is another sticker that we use for roll call for any war, not just the Civil War. And then the same with POWs. And POWs were not normally treated fabulous on either side. It was, it was not a healthy environment. Food was not easy to come by. It was, it just wasn't an easy, easy being a POW in the US Civil War. And a lot of POWs did not make it out. And we're going to talk about one in particular in just a moment. Volunteers. When the war first started, everybody was going to fight for their side. There were tremendous, a lot of volunteers. Though a lot were not forced to fight. I like the smiley faces came from Pam, battle before pillow. I see some people getting close. North Carolina is another state that succeeded and it was part of the Confederacy. Battle of Chickamauga. We talked about that a little bit. That is right there at the Tennessee, Georgia border. Ah, we got a bingo. And how appropriate, a Georgia girl got bingo on the Battle of Chickamauga. That is awesome. Let me write your name down real quick because I will forget. So then D same thing. What you're going to do is go to your email, email A1 and let her know that you won the bingo for the US Civil War project and she will get you all the information that you need to do. If you already know that what you want, for example, if you know that you want the bingo mug in black, they have different colors though. But in black, you can tell her that. But if you want to take a look and see what is there, what's offered of the wiki tree branded items, like I said, tote bags, t-shirts, different mugs, different items, then go ahead and email her and tell her you won and ask her to send the link to you and she will do that. So congratulations. That's pretty cool. Okay, let's talk a little bit then about some other things with the US Civil War. This is something that I did not know and I loved it. It was the nurses of the Civil War era. So if you are not into the soldiers, then this is just not your thing in that spine. You don't want to do the profile of the soldiers and family. There are many ways to get involved with the Civil War project and this is just kind of an auxiliary one, the nurses of the US Civil War era and this can be found on the Civil War project's main page. So that is easy to get to, easy to find. I love this idea of combining different little sub-projects into the Civil War and I will drop the link there for you too. And they have done a fabulous job of explaining what they need. So if you're interested in the nurses or the medical staff, this is a good way of getting involved with the Civil War project. Desperately need help adding these profiles all across the board. Every project loves for people to join and add profiles even if you can just give a couple hours of a week, a month, whatever you can do. And I did not know that you're born in Tennessee. So if you're saying East Tennessee or West Tennessee, Stephen, that makes a big difference and I love this too. The history of nursing, how women were able to help and they weren't, they weren't allowed to join the military and that's why you see them nursing and that's why you see them as spies. And Carol, I knew you'd be in Bingo and I wanted to bring this up to you too because I knew that you were a nurse. Oh, Walt Whitman served as a male nurse. Well, there's a cool little bit of trivia as well. So just keep in mind that the Civil War project has a lot of different areas that you can contribute to. I want to bring up one other item and let me see if I can find it. I thought I had it up already. Let me, well actually let me bring up a couple more profiles. I do have one that I want to show you, Mary Virginia Wade. If you go to Gettysburg, her name, her name is Jenny. If you go to Gettysburg, they have a paid tour where you get on a little tour bus and they take you around. You will see the Wade House. But this was a civilian that was killed at the Battle of Gettysburg. She was actually helping to bake bread in her home and a cannonball came through and she was killed. The reason why I brought this up is she has a little bit of significance that a lot of the tour guides like to bring up is when she was killed at the time that she was baking or kneading or baking the bread in her home. She was actually the sweetheart of somebody called Corporal Johnson Skelly and her, she had a locket with this picture and a little tin picture of him in her apron pocket. And I guess she ended up getting killed almost instantly. He never knew that she got killed because he died of wounds about four months later at the Battle of Winchester. So there were two Star Cross lovers who got killed within the U.S. Civil War. Well, another one I want to bring up is if you're part of the USBH, guess what? The Civil War had colored troops. So this is a great project for you to jump into as well. And this is in particular is one that was part of the U.S. colored troops. And I believe he also, so what was cool is he was an escaped slave who went to fight in the Civil War and they actually have presentations on YouTube about it. So you can also see how the slaves were also part of fighting for their freedom. And I will drop a link to that one too. Just a little bit more detail into his profile. So if you're part of the USBH on WikiTree, you can also help out the Civil War. And you know, I'm going to say what I normally say, this is the power of WikiTree. You cross over multiple projects and work together to create more powerful profiles and you categorize them to create that combined effort as well. I think I have, let me remove this real quick. I think I have one more to show you. And then I'll let you guys go for the day. I thought I had it up. I have the maintenance categories that we talked about. The stickers that we talked about. Oh, what I should mention too. For those of you that have problems with stickers, let me bring this up. There are step by step instructions literally on the front page. Or you could just go with that easy U.S. Civil War sticker. That's all on the front page too. But if you notice, the step by step instructions explain each of the items on the sticker. I remember Regiment is free text as well. Okay. So the role of honor, that's what I wanted to go through. The role of honor stickers. These are the ones that you can use just about for any war. But we're going to talk just specifically about the Civil War here. And you'll get ones, if you want to put a descendant. So a lot of you drop links in the chat. So you can use this sticker and say that you're a descendant of a particular soldier. You've got the Union and the Confederacy. If you're part of the project, you've got your project pages. But I also want to point out this is the one-on-one plan. This is really cool. I know a lot of you have probably heard about Andersonville. It's in Georgia. It is a prison. And Paige will come up a little bit. My internet is a little slow. There we go. What is really cool about this, the Civil War project on WikiTree literally just got permission from a gentleman who has photographed almost all the tombstones in Andersonville prison. And he has one fine grave. He has literally just given WikiTreeers permission to get those tombstones off of fine grave and use it on WikiTree profiles. And this gentleman has done such a tremendous amount of work. So if you want to dig in somewhere, this might be a good place to dig in because you already know you have access to sources that Pam has put here, but also you can grab the photo. If you do work on this type of profile, just know you're not going to get a lot of them done in a day. You're going to have to take a break. These are pretty emotional ones to work on. So keep that in mind as you go through. But this is a fabulous project that is really taking off within the Civil War project. Okay. I think I covered just about everything. I want to thank you guys for hanging in there with me. I know just enough about the Civil War to give you just a little taste of it. I know Pam was running late from an appointment and tried really hard to make it. So if you have any questions, definitely reach out to Pam. She is the biggest sweetheart ever. She will answer any question that you have. She's a fabulous leader for the project. If you have a question with stickers, definitely reach out to her. Go to their project page. Their project page has, like I said, step-by-step instructions for the stickers or just use that little simple one and add the category for the unit up above. If you are around later on today, we're talking about ANZACs. And this is a very, very cool project. Both these projects today were from you guys. They were viewer requests. So if you have any requests for a project, let me know. Reach out to me on Discord. Let me know and I'll bring them on Bingo. Other than that, have a great day, everybody. I will see you in a couple hours.
