An Appeal for Civil War Descendants
"Mind the Gap Films is developing a documentary about the personal experiences of Irish men who served in the American Civil War, for broadcast on RTÉ. We’re looking for descendants who have letters, photographs or any personal effects belonging to ancestors who were involved in the conflict and who might like to share their stories. We will be filming in Ireland and the eastern US and would be delighted to hear from people who are interested. Please email fran@mindthegapfilms.com. Mind the Gap Films is an independent television production company and you can find out more about us here www.mindthegapfilms.com" https://irishamericancivilwar.com/2017/02/01/an-appeal-for-civil-wa...

Fran,
I have but one photo of my Uncle John Donohue but many stories from the life of my great grandfather, Patrick Donohue. Both served in the Corcoran Legion, the 155th Regiment NYV. I published a book about their Civil War experiences and the effect of that war on them, their families, and succeeding generations. I'd be happy to share what I have.
