Perhaps you can help me. I am a frye descendant ,but my inquiry has nothing
to do with the Frye family or with a person that lived in Wisconsin. I live
in Wisconsin and I am trying to find my g grandfather who died in the Civil
War. He was born in Georgia and was in the 1860 but right after that he
joined the civil war. He was living in Clinch Co. Georgia. He died near
Atlanta . His name was James M West. Can you help me?
Thanks

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 CD I have which
contains
34,000 names of the 45,000 who
were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because
of
misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site
every
couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as
the
physical files. I would like to let you know of another service I offer
which is to take photos of graves for a small fee.
.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.
Kevin
