Welcome to Landers Genealogy

The information on this site is the result of over 20 years of research. I have tried to attribute the notes to their respective copyright holders, but doubtless have missed some. Notes followed by a [jl] are my notes. I have also set the "private" filter to for 100 years, so any person having birth or marriage dates after that time have no personal info listed. Some of the programs used to create this site are DreamWeaver 4.0, Adobe PhotoShop 5.5, CorelDraw 8, and Xara 3D 5.0. Layout and most of the graphics are © 1997-2005 Jerry Landers. Except for the notes (which are © various years by their respective copyright holders), I presume the rest of the information to be in public domain and ask that the sources are kept if you use them for your research. A link back would also be appreciated. Thanks and happy ancestor hunting! Jerry

A note on some of the conventions used here, especially in the royalty section. In most cases I use the English version of the name or title (William vs. Guillaume, Prince vs. Principessa). An exception are the German titles (Pfalzgrave, Landgrave, etc.) and certain names (like Pierre vs. Peter) that just look and sound better in their native language. While I have tried to be consistent, there are plenty that I've missed.

Christmas In Camp by Thos. B. Kirby

How It Was Observed By Colored Troops

The Ole Bull of the Accordian—A Sable Nightingale—Christmas Gifts—A Happy Lot of Children of a Larger Growth

I enlisted after graduation at Yale in the Twentieth Connecticut regiment and was commissioned first lieutenant of Company F. Our service during 1862 and 1863 was with the Army of the Potomac until after the battle of Gettysburg, in which we participated, when the Twelfth corps, under the command of General Hooker, “Fighting Joe,” was sent to form a part of General Sherman’s army. About this time the government was recruiting regiments of colored troops, a measure I approved, because I thought the negroes should fight for their own freedom and the elevation of their own race, and because, in other words, as was said at the time, a negro would stop a bullet as effectively as a white man. I believed, too, that properly officered and led the negroes would fight well, a belief that was confirmed by experience.
