Little Known Kansas Soldiers.

There are a lot of families looking into their Kansas ancestors and finding very little. That’s way this list is here, to help fill in some of the gaps. The man on this list were all Kansas soldiers and long forgotten. Little is known about these men, so little in fact that many don’t ever have a birth or a death date recorded, just a name. I may not be able to fill in the dates, but I can give you some idea on what he was doing will a live, no one should be that forgotten. All these men service their country honorably and should be remembered.
