Barrett Young, a student at Pittsburg State University, will be in Humboldt Saturday to discuss Civil War gravesites.

Young has concluded his research of members of the Union Army buried in Kansas, which will be a useful source for genealogy groups like Find a Grave, Ancestry.com.

The history major also has been responsible for setting up a web page and Facebook site on Humboldt Camp No. 9 where he posts updates on current events. He has also traveled to shows around the country and is a participant in re-enactment organizations.

Humboldt residents are invited to meet Young at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the Henry Walkenhorst Memorial Dedication Service at the Lutheran Cemetery, Humboldt, or at a luncheon at City Hall at 11:30 a.m., prior to the service.
