This seems to be a duplicate project of a project called "The Union Armies (USA) of the US Civil War"at http://www.geni.com/projects/The-Union-Armies-USA-of-the-US-Civil-W... . This makes it very confusing when adding profiles of men that fought for the Union Army during the Civil War. Should they two projects be merged together so that there is no further confusion as to where we should add the profiles of Union soldiers?

It does get a little confusing with both sides having one and then have one that combines all.

Would it be better to have the two separate projects or combine the three?

I am totally confused by all the different Civil War projects. Hopefully Geni or the curators can give us more direction. :)

We have to have at least two separate projects-- there were two main sides to the conflict, two governments, and two armies. That's why it is a Civil war.

Kenneth Kwame Welsh, (C) I am aware of that! LOL! The problem is that many of the projects are duplicates of each other, thus the confusion. ;)

We will work it out eventually! Unfortunately, curators are so busy working on multiple projects.

Would it be reasonable to add words such as "Civil War" or "US Civil War" to the title of this project?

Right now this project doesn't not come up when typing Civil War in the 'add to project'.

The "other" Union Army project seems to be for describing the organization, history, and structure of the Union Army (G.A.R.), whereas this project is for adding individual profiles of those who served in any of those units of the Union Army.

I have just discovered that there are two different projects for Idaho Governors. Is there a way to combine the two or remove one?

I just added some maps and historical markers to this project. I thought they were neat my kin William Armour Callahan was in 93rd PA and died at Battle of Williamsburg thought since found these neat maps and historical marker it help to figure out other company positions and put bit flare to project. Hope you all don’t mind if it inappropriate I will take down.

You welcome Erica I thought was neat can almost see where great uncle died on battlefield with them. Gives more information I think I tracked down his grave site too he’s buried away from family. But it only states W Callahan not sure if we can get changed though.
