You got the jist of it, there is also a background master mind who committed seppuku after deserting the group - Yamanami Keisuke. The history of Shinsengumi is rather complicated. Thre are many literature that was written in a very very subjective manner towards whether they are hero or foe, it really depends on the aurthor's political view towards the entire opening policy.
Its believed that Harada Sanouske also survived and moved to China and become a bandit leader, however there is nothing in place to support that claim.
However, most of the events involving the Shinsengumi as described by historian/writers do have supportive claims....
What kind of info are you looking for
