Bob,

You might want to try these people:

http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usamhi/

This is the U.S. Army Military History Institute at Carlisle Barracks. While browsing, briefly, through the site, they did have a section on insignia.

I have a plate glass photo of a Civil War soldier that was passed down from
my Grandmother. Family lore has it that it is a relative of hers.

The only clues I have to go on are:

Grandmother - Margaret Laura YOUNG (nee GAYNOR ) from Northeast Philly.

Photo - Kepi has the letter B, defintely Union, I have a scanned image but
the details are not the clearest. I can send to anyone who may be
interested in seeing it. The picture's outer case has no markings.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can identify this Soldier?

Thank you.

Bob Young
