Talk:2nd Regiment, Mississippi Cavalry

Possible Photo of J.L. Harris
To the editors of this page, my apologies, I'm new. However, I was looking for background on a photo from my family album project. I came across your reference to J.L. Harris. Within my family album project, I have an 1898 photo of J.L. Harris http://www.flickr.com/photos/woodysworldtv/3083245745/ that was taken in San Fransico, CA at "Johnson 31 Third St. San Francisco." Wondering if this could be one and the same--given the timeline and name? Any input you have would be very valuable to my search.

Thanks,

Jim Woods
