I found the following on a Maryland list and found it very
interesting.  Anybody know if there is such a site for SC?

Dear List,
   Sharon Banzhoff had sent this site/list to me and some of you
might find
something here.
   This is a list of unclaimed medals of soldiers that served in
the Civil War
From West Virginia. Many men from Maryland and Pennsylvania went
to WV to
enlist.(Don't ask me why). But anyway I found a relative (dead of
course) that
has a medal that hasn't been claimed yet. So I wrote to the guy
and he said
that I was eligable to recieve the medal. But it's as easy as it
sounds. Once
you've found a relative that has an unclaimed medal yu have Prove
relationship. And they are REAL serious about this. They need ALL
birth/death/marriage certificates to prove relationship.
Genealogy charts will
not do.
Well Like I said I found one and in six months it will be in my
pocession. It
takes six months for them to verify everything. So Good luck I
hope somebody
finds something!!!!
