« on: Sunday 01 March 15 14:18 GMT (UK) »
I Have a large family of Nightingales in the Hawkhurst /Sandhurst area of Kent .I knew with help from Rootchatters that two of my gggrandfathers brothers went off to America before .1851.
Playing around with names on Google and having put in Henry Nightingale from Hawkhurst I was amazed to see an account of his sons life written in diary form.He fought at Gettysburg,was injured and was present at Lincolns address.Hows that for a little bit extraThere was even a picture of him and reference to his wife and children.
