Herman came to America with two brothers, Henry Ahl and John J. Anderson. Herman and Henry Ahl both served in Wisconsin regiments during the war - Herman in the 15th and Henry in the 47th. I have found no record of John's service. Their parents, Anders Jensen and Karen Sophie Andersen, are buried at Skjeberg Kirke in Norway.
