==New articles contributed to Wikipedia==

Particular Wikipedia interests are topics related to [[Ohio in the American Civil War]] and [[Pennsylvania in the American Civil War]]. I am a native of [[Zanesville, Ohio]], and am a direct descendant of numerous soldiers in the [[Union Army]], including two of my great-great-grandfathers. Several ancestors fought on [[Cemetery Hill]] in the [[7th West Virginia Volunteer Infantry Regiment]] during the July 1863 [[Battle of Gettysburg]].
