Hi All,
My name is Tony DellaRocca. I am member of the Board of Trustees and
the company Genealogist for the 14th Regiment NYSM Co.E Living History
Association. The 14th Brooklyn was a CW regiment.(www.14thBrooklyn.net)
As I was doing my research for the 14th, I started walking the
Cemeteries of Long Island and New York. I noticed so many CW vets
headstones, with many in disrepair, that I started to take pictures of them
all, and list them in a data base. I noticed here on Long Island many 127th
NY men, so I took an interest, and started working specifically on that
regiment. The regiment had many men that came from the South Shore of Long
Island, some right in my own backyard( I am from Lindenhurst). I have spent
the last 4 years gathering info on the regiment, and the men. I have a non
commercial website dedicated to this fine regiment. There are over 260 pages
of info, including individual pages for over 240 men. I also have a
gravesite registration page, with over 1350 men listed from all different
regiments. I have at least another 800 to list. I have pictures of all of
those headstones, and if anyone wants any specific information on any of
those soldiers, just send me an e-mail.
I am trying to get the word out on this fine Regiment (with a real
Long Island presence), I hope you will stop by and let me know what you
think!
I will be posting information on the list from time to time
on specific men. So many of them are from founding families of Long Island!
The website address is 127thNewYork.com
