I would like to welcome those of you new to this site and tell you there are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am
willing to do what I can.

My sources are the following.......
There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list
which has the names and grave numbers of some 13000 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a personal copy of the historic site database 41,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. It contains more than 8000 records that are not at the moment available in the online lookup sites. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files.
I also wish to thank the patience of those regular subscribers for my frequent postings.

If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.
