To commemorate the historic Battle of Gettysburg, Fold3 is giving free access to its American Civil War collection until 18 July 2021. The collection includes service records, pension files, casualty lists and more.
You will need a free account or you can sign in with your Ancestry user name and password (as I did). Click here to go to the correct landing page at Fold3. Search for a name and you will be prompted to either log-in to Fold3 (if you already have an account) or enter your Ancestry log-in details.
This is a generous two week period to search the records for free. Maybe this time I'll find Michael Wallace Lynch, my first cousin three times removed. Given his age, I feel he would very likely have been caught up in the civil war. He emigrated with his parents from Bosnetstown, County Limerick to New York State when he was five years old and was a young man of enlistment age during the war.
A quick general search in the Fold3 records returned 2,000+ civil war records for people named Michael Lynch so I will need the two weeks free period to wade through them and see if I can narrow them down to a short list of potentials.
Good luck with your research and do let me know if you have any luck finding family members among the collection.

Given the feature set, the lack link of a traditional sport format – like a link diver, pilot's watch, chronograph, etc. – I could also see the Fiftysix appealing to someone who has an appreciation for time-and-date link Grand Seikos. Again, in the less-dressy sense, so think SBGH277 rather than SBGW251.

The Response: link You don't have to ask me twice to talk about vintage Movado, but I'm glad you did, Hodinkee commenters. I love vintage link Movado. It was one of the first vintage brands I fell hard for. I've scooped up plenty of time-only Movados over the years since they're relatively affordable, and to me, many link of the designs are as good as any Patek Calatrava – clean designs and sharp cases, Breguet numerals, you'll find it all.
