Geneology:
Basic Exercise:
4.  In HeritageQuest I searched for "Black River Falls, Wis" where my parents grew up and my ancesteries lived.  I retreived the "Enumeration of soldiers and sailors of the late war residing in Wisconsin  in 1885."   I advanced through the book to the pages that listed my Dad's relatives that served in what must have been the Civil War.  It listed their names, rank, company, and post office.  What is so amazing to me is how many men served in that war.  This book was 392 pages and just listed those living in Wisconsin at that time.
