Question:

Geneology, error?.... what are the chances of an immagrant being an officer in the civil war?

I was doing genenology connecting trees. I know they made some errors. Anyways, I think this part is another error but want to make sure. I know the person was a Captain in the civil war.That is true, I have a copy of the obituary that names him and his wife. bla/bla.
I'm looking up his info. The question is what is the chance of an immigrant being an officer in the civil war. ( I believe they got his country of birth switched with his wife)
