Howard -Thanks for the prompt response.The reason for my inquiry is that I have a CDV photograph of a Union officer that was taken in Boston, MO.The reverse side has written the following:Capt. Andrew Hosmer "Lizzie's father" (quotes mine).The American Civil War Data Base lists two Union officers named Andrew Hosmer.As only one was ranked Capt (Andrew Jackson Hosmer), I concluded that his is the image in my collection.However, your input of daughter Mary seems to put my conclusion in question,unless Mary's middle name was "Elizabeth".Does your database provide this detail?Thanks again for your help...,J.T.
