Not too much help on genealogy-- sorry. On songs & music, best ones I know are the "97th Regimental String Band" which has about five CDs out which are pretty wonderful. (one of the members is Phillip Terry, alias VGO, a wonderful musician commited to re-enacting the Civil War & to being as close to "authentic period" as possible)best book is still IMHO Irwin Silber's Songs of the Civil War-- wonder if it's still in print.
