Union Army Civil war (2)

I might have that beat, I found the name Treadwell serving in French/Indian War, Revolutionary War, Civil War Confederate and WW1

I think my wife was at Lakenheath but not sure, Id have to ask her, that was 82 to 84

Grandfather was a fire chief at Charleston AFB. Have some very insane looking pictures of things he had to "deal with". He came to Wings over Houston and was disgusted to see civilians sitting on the emergency vehicles. He would have had them with their engines running, and drivers in their seats at all times.

Other grandfather was Navy.
Cousin in the Marines.

Did you find the name or actual traces to them?  I've gotten lucky and have actually traced mine back (on page 2)

[Nilsen]

yes, yes and yes

Grandfathers both served ww2, my father was a naval officer 62-75 and so was I from 94 to 97

I found it on ancestry.com back when they had a free period, just some basic info, nothing to detailed.  I havent put as much effort into it as I would like, just to busy right now.  I found a few websites that had some details so I know more information is out there.   My dad is in regular contact with one of his cousins thats been doing some research and one of my nieces has spent the last couple of years tracking down photographs and personal histories from everybody in the family.  The little bit I can recall is there were a couple of Treadwells that came from England to Massachuetts area around 1609 or 1612, and then they bred like rabbits.  During the Revolutionary war the family split, those loyal to the crown went to Canada.  
I have a copy of the family bible that shows my direct ancestors back to Georgia and South Carolina about 1848.  I havent searched farther back than that to see how we might be linked to 1609

That's awesome, the furthest I can go back so far is around 1720's, beyond that is sketchy, but there are people on each side looking, so hopefully they'll come up with something.

Awesome reading here .. makes me wonder about tracing my family back, I can't go very far (Civil War) due to a fire in some county courthouse that erased our family's history long ago, apparantly no records were kept at home back then.

From myself back:
USAF/ECM 1972-1986, mostly flightline, spent some time in Southeast Asia, Germany, Korea.. young man's passion.

brudda USAF retired after 20, Crypto-geek. I hear he shook hands with Regan an stuff for some of the things he did.

Dad, Army during WW2 (arty observer for Patton's 3rd for entire war) then txferred to USAF in 1945, retired at 30yrs)

Uncle Bert, USMC WW2, Guadalcanal, sent stateside when wounded ..his CO told him to enjoy time there before the Japs came.
(they really thought there was no way the Allies could hold everyone off, much less 'win')

Uncle William Rathgeber, 8th AF B-17's through the bad days of 1943, I was told he went back for second tour, txferred to MAC after the war, died in the fog near Templehof durin the Berlin Airlift, 1948.

Paternal Great grandfather was Major on the Union side, Civil War. Married a Cherokee lady after the war, was in the March of Tears.
I still remember the smell of her cookies ..she made the best I ever had.

Aye .. a lot of us have been at this awhile.
Warriors all.
