SW WI | My fathers side was late 1860’s from Prussia. Have learned recently that my mother’s side was here before that ( Norway) as in my g-g grandfather fought for the Union in the civil war. He and 2 brothers were prisoners of war, his brothers were in Andersonville, I don’t know if he was but they didn’t go home. Also he was supposed to be shot on capture but he and a guard started talking about their own farms that they hoped to get back to so after commanding officers left, guard helped him to be “ just” a POW.
