I am trying to research an ancestor of mine who emmigrated with brothers to the USA from County Down, Ireland. His name was James McGlennon and I am wondering if he was the James McGlennon named as a Landsman on the crew of the C.S.S. Tuscaloosa. We have heard that he took part in the Civil War on the side of the Confederacy, but have no written evidence. Is there any way to check the origins of the crew?

Thanks,

Mark Fitzsimons
