Dear Janett,

I am not a female nor am I seeking to join your organization. However, I wondered if you could perhaps help me in my search for roots. My mother's maiden name was Calland (Her name was Arlene Calland.) She was from Champaign Co. Ohio. Her father's name was Ray Calland. Here is my question: I happened to stumble across your website and noticed that you were in charge of the ladies of the GAR for Ohio....Am I related to you, and if so, would I have GAR or Union Civil War ancestors? My email is the following: leesearcy@gmail.com Also, my cell phone number is 419-236-6728....Any help you could give me would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Lee Searcy
