Have you ever been looking for an ancestor and then lost them?? You find them in a Census or noted on a Land Record, when you try to trace them it seems they have been abducted by aliens or dropped off the face of the planet? Maybe they sailed "Down Under", prior to his death, Major Roy W. Parker, Retired-USAF, had worked with friends and has compiled a list of some American Serviceman who have done just that. These men fought in the American Civil War or Mexican War, and then, as the man says "Go West Young Man, they did ...all the way to Australia.
Below you will find a list of these men, thanks to the generosity of Major Roy Parker. Should the reader have any information whatsoever on any of these persons or know of any lead to a veteran of the American Civil War, he or she is invited to contact Major Parker's daughter, Virginia Crocker.:
