Subscribers,,please read the email at the bottom replying to my FREE GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH OFFER Although I am unsubscribing,,,,,my FREE offer still stands. Hi Dena, You have my most humble apologies as I was under the impression that the roots web was for people to help people find information on their ancestors. As you may or may not know, there were many guards from Alabama Regiments here , who suffered and died as well as these " Yankees". There are more than 1500 confederates on record here that I was under the impression that many genealogist from your state might qualify as descendants of Confederates....who might want information on those brave soldiers who died for their cause. My research here is FREE,,,and not SPAM. I don't charge the first dime for anything research I do while looking for descendants of "Yankees" or "Rebs". My work, if you would spend a few minutes at my site,,,,is to help people find their ancestors,,,no matter what side they were on. Although my main work is near the only Civil War POW site close to me..I have many links to the prison camps in the North that again...I was under the impression that a su! pposed Confederate State,,,might have genealogist looking for their ancestors. My dedication is to ALL POWS...NOT just " YANKEES" I truly thought that Confederate soldiers might qualify as an Alabama Civil War Issue. Your website does not say Confederate civil war,,,and since there were not only Alabama soldiers held prisoners here,,,but died and are buried in this national cemetery. They were not Confederates, but Union Alabama regiments. Yes, believe it or not,,,there was such a thing.Again, you might have Alabama genealogist looking for their ancestors who might be buried here. I would think that many of your subscribers looking for their ancestors,,, would find a great amount of information on my site since it has many links to Northern Prisoner of War sites. Again, I hope that you and your subscribers will forgive me for offering my FREE services,,,and my FREE resources,,to a site that I thought revolved around Alabama Civil War subjects. Im sorry for intruding on your site, but am real curious to what this site is for? If it is not for Alabama Civil War subject......then what is it for. You even have a quote at the bottom of this page, that ROOTSWEB IS ALWAYS FREE...... That's what I thought I was doing.... Please,,don't bother to unsubscribe me as I am going to do it myself. This must be an awful boring site if Alabama Civil War Subjects are banned. By the way,,,you asked about my roots.....My Mothers Grandfather was left an orphan....his father killed fighting for the Confederacy...as well as my Wife has many who fought and died for Georgia regiments.......One was a Guard at Andersonville. Have a great day. Kevin Frye TOTALLY VOLUNTEER,,,,( NOT SPAM ) Alabama Civil War link to POW sites. Please visit my website dedicated to those Americans who were imprisoned and died in captivity while in the service to our country http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/Andersonvilleprison/index.html AOL USERS go to http://hometown.aol.com/andersonvillecw/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Dena Horton To: frye@gnat.net Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 11:44 AM Subject: Re: [AL-Civil War] Andersonville POWS Please do not advertise your services on this list. It is called spam and we do not pass that along to our list memebers. We also keep our list contained to ALABAMA civil war issues. As Andersonville was a yankee prison, in Georiga no less, not many of our list would find that helpful. This will be your only warning about passing on services. If you send anything else you will be unsubscribed to my list. If you would like to have your services listed, I suggest you send it to me privately or do a search on Rootsweb for the proper place to add this information.
