Trying to locate cousins

Why is it so much easier to find people who have been dead for 200 years than it is to find your third cousin?

Georgia to Michigan

Today I found a letter written by a Wm. S. Montgomery in Brick Store, GA that mentions Erastus J. Wall. How on earth would these two have ever met?



It appears that each served in the Civil War.  Wm. S. Montgomery served in the Confederate Army and Erastus J. Wall served in the Union Army.
