I have just begun searching for more information about my g-grandfather, James A.Sailors. He was in the 2nd Reg. Ind. Cav., Co. and was captured crossing the Chattahoochi River and sent to Andersonville. Are there some web sites where I can find out more information. Thank you. Sharon Sailors Germick CA

Hi all! Yesterday, Derry Ann (Derryann@aol.com) and D.E. Mayfield (Brawnerfar@aol.com) engaged in a collique concerning a CD-ROM on the C.S.A.'s Andersonville Prison that I currently am offering. I wrote both Derry Ann & D.E. Mayfield personally this morning and, apparently, "everything's fine" now. But because D.E. Mayfield publically expressed concerns relating to my offering of this excellent CD-ROM-----and how proceeds from those sales will be re-invested-----I feel compelled now to respond... These are strange times & D.E. Mayfield was right in pointing out that my wording on that web-page didn't explicitly *promise* to send a portion of every sale to our sponsor, Rootsweb.com. Nor did it explicitly detail my overall plans to develop additional on-line (free, I'd add) resources of considerable interest to both Andersonville and Sultana enthusiasts....'Sorry, but I suspect that all web-page/site developers will understand why... At any rate, let me share herein my intentions so that I'll not be catagorized into that group of scoundrels & scam artists that apparently so populate our 'Net: CD Author Daryl Hutchinson & I began just 1 month ago to market his CD-ROM through the web page in question. Read about it at URL: http://www.rapidnet.com/~greg/Tom/CDROM.html Daryl & I have an agreement wherein I buy his CD-ROM at $19.95/copy and I sell it from my web-page at $24.95/copy. The $24.95 I charge is *precisely* the same amount as the NPS charges at the Andersonville NHS Visitor Center. Clearly, the additional $2.00 shipping/handling cost difference (which Daryl & I split equally) simply makes Daryl's CD-ROM *much* more widely available, especially for genealogists living far from southwest Georgia, U.S.A. That leaves the $5.00/CD difference. Keep in mind: in our 1st month of "sales," we've sold a whopping 10 copies! (no refelection on it's quality/ value). 'Still, here's how I intend to re-invest the proceeds from CD sales: ***************** 1. I will *FIRST* invest in buying additional server space from my ISP so that I can finally upload (and offer for free) the entire 2,150-searchable- by surname-database I have for those Union soldiers who were aboard the Sultana on 27 APR 1865 when it exploded on the Mississippi River. Keep in mind, over half of those Union soldiers who died in that tragedy were formerly imprisoned at Andersonville. Folks: more souls perished in that uniquely American maritime tragedy than perished on the H.M.S. Titanic 47 years later! Did *you* know that? If not, don't feel badly, far too few Americans today know about it. I think it's rather important. That's my priority #1. 2. After I've uploaded the 2,150-name seachable database mentioned in #1 above, I intend to begin sending regular, quarterly payments to Rootsweb.com using their secure, "contribution" web-page. A Listowner of four Rootsweb.com mailing lists (Andersonville-L, Sultana-L, Reeves-L and Dean-L), I incurr Rootsweb "Sponsor" expenses of $80.00/annually. And I'm behind by a full year in my "Sponsor" expenses which means that I owe Rootsweb.com a minimum of $160. That *alone* will require the sale of 32 CD's. Proceeds exceeding #'s 1 & 2 will permit... 3. My *ultimate goal* of making available on-line----indeed, searchable----- the entire 33,000-name Atwater-Barton database now available only limitly from the Andersonville NHS or from this CD-ROM. ****************** Daryl Hutchinson's CD-ROM is outstanding and a valuable asset to Civil War enthusiasts and savvy genealogists alike. I'll apologize for my badly- worded web-page but I won't apologize to those who live in a paranoid and skeptical world that seemingly subject everyone, and their produce, to both both skepticism and ridicule... Well. Enough. I'll simply let my words stand witness to my integrity. Greg Reeves Andersonville-L, Sultana-L, Reeves-L, and Dean-L Listowner greg@rapidnet.com

Any one out there know of someone who is up to speed on Union Army Insignia ? I have a pic of my g-grandfather in his "uniform" But the insignia does not square with the information on company muster sheets and other USAR docs we have copies of. Just wondering what a possible explanation might be. Thanks Bob Kroon

RE Greg Reeves comment on the CD - my daughter and family just returned from Atlanta - they took time to visit Andersonville -brought me back many things - among them my copy of the CD.....I heartily recommend it to one and all.....a MUST addition to every library. Robert Kroon Phx AZ

Hi All: Well! This List has been lively lately! I'm glad to read where subscribers are helping others to find possibly imprisoned ancestors...'Remember, while genealogical research is a primary reason for this List, it's *not* the only one! Anyone interested in *discussing* Andersonville? <grin> BTW, I'm glad that both Steve Milligan & Mark Roberts are enjoying the Andersonville CD-ROM and are finding it to be quite valuable. Obviously, I agree! Since so many are searching for possible ancestors imprisoned at-----maybe even buried at Andersonville-----I'm going to suggest that those still looking may want to consider buying the CD...You can read all about it (and get ordering instructions) at URL: http://www.rapidnet.com/~greg/Tom/CDROM.html Irrespective of whether any others chose to order the CD-ROM, I'm proud of all of you on this List! It's fun to read all the info! Take Care, Greg Reeves ANDERSONVILLE-L Listowner greg@rapidnet.com see: http://www.rapidnet.com/~greg/Tom

D. Scherer, Pennsylvania's records are a good poorer than my home state of Illinois. I have attempted to get PA records before and they tend to be pretty sad. However, if you click: http://sunsite.utk.edu/civil-war/unit3.html you will find a huge page of volunteer correspondents who will attempt to provide or lead you to information about every unit that fought in the Civil War. In your case the 7th PA Cav. (80th reg) Co M 1862-5 is obtained through the volunteer: mattson@mary.fordham.edu . Please get back with him or her with whatever you discover and, pardon my cautioning, but these are volunteers and they are retained through kindness and gratefulness. Good luck, Dick Hudson

My many thanks for the immediate responses(5 in 2hrs) to my previous diary request. I know now what a PERSI is and have orderd my copy. I have another request. My research indicates SgtMaj Alfred LETTEER was 77PA ,captured at Chicamauga, GA 9-19-1863 and died at Andersonville Date Unk. Does anyone have any primary info on his actuall DOD. var. LATTEER. Thanks again in advance. Dave Letteer in 94* Charlotte NC pd_letteer@msn2000.com

Hi, I have been reading the messages on the Andersonville website and was wondering if anyone could provide any information about the 7th PA Cavalry Company M. I am searching for information about one of my ancestors who served in this regiment and was captured at Stone's River, Murfreesboro and held at Andersonville and exchanged probable in late 1862 or early 1863 and was sent from Andersonville to Cincinnatti, Ohio. Any information about him or any others in that unit that were held at Andersonville or died there would help greatly in my search. Thank you, D. Scherer dscherersr@aol.com

I agree with Mark. Although I haven't spent lots of time on the CD, what I've seen is fantastic! I recommend it to anyone that is interested in Andersonville.

Robert, When I check the IL sec. of state civil war units site at: http://www.sos.state.il.us/cgi-bin/civilwar?McCampbell , I note that David(son) was probably attached to headquarters company of the 104th at some time during his military tenure. His residence is not listed which may be an oversight or indicate that he enlisted from elsewhere than an Illinois county or town. If he was an Illinoisan there are others with the same surname that are shown, as well. They might be relatives. Tonica and Monmouth are not very far from one another in north central Illinois and Industry, as I recall is a little village in southern Illinois. Although I currently live in middle Tennessee my roots are in Illinois and I know the state quite well. The reason I am telling you all of this is that I am of highland Scots origin and "McCampbell" is a very unusual use of the Campbell name. Although Campbell is a highland Scots name it is seldom appended to the "Mac" or "Mc" appellation. The Duke of Argyll's family name is Campbell and he is the High Chief of all the Campbells. He does not affix Mc to his name as does, say, Lord Macdonald. Result of search for "McCampbell".

My relative is PETER DENNIS MELVILLE who survived Andersonville Prison. He was a private from the State of Rhode Island, Heavy Artillery, Co A, Reg 5. He was involved with Burnside's campaign in NC in 1862. Peter was only 1 of 5 from his company of 45 to survive in the first 6 months. He was captured on 5/5/1864 in Croatan, NC. I obtained most of this information by writing directly to the "Friends of Andersonville", Andersonville National Historic site, Routh 1, Box 800, Andersonville GA 31711. They sent me back ( at NO cost) what they called his POW records. They have all the prisoner of war from ALL wars located there. Perhaps this can help some of you find the kind of information you are looking for! Hope this helps someone. Susan

Just now reported aboard. My great grandfather was Davidson McCampbell, Cmpany B 104 Ill. Infantry. Davidson was captured on Sunday, Sept 20, 1863 at Chickamauga. He died at Andersonville, July 10, 1864 and is buried in grave 3100. He was/is registered in Dorrance Atwater's list as such. Hope to find more about his family. Thank You.

Good morning all, Just last night on Philly-roots List the following message was posted: "In getting info on ancestors military. You can get forms from the National Archives to request these records: http://www.nara.gov/nara/mail.html In the subject box put "Form". You can ask them to send you: Form 80 - military service and pension papers prior to WW1, Form 81-Passenger Arrival, Form 82-Census Records copies, Form 83-Eastern Cherokee Application, Form 180-Military after WW1." I know that the National Archives even takes Visa! Nancy at GKapper@aol.com

Hello Shirley and Andersonville Searchers, I find pension records from the National Archives Write to the following address; Old Military and Civilain Records Unit (Archive I)National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, , D.C. 20408. Ask for Form 80. When they send the form to you, give all information you have about the person in the Civil War. They will do a search and get back to you in about two months time. Then you can order up to 20 pages of the pension files for $10.00(check is okay). If you want more pages of the pension files it is $5.00 for an additional 20 pages. The files I have ordered had a lot of genealogical information in them. Dates of birth of children, marriage date, death dates and etc. Ron rzweaver@email.msn.com

N.E. Ferry (North East Ferry) was in Wilmington, NC. I haven't found it's exact location as of yet. N.E. Ferry was used as a parole point. Since your ancestor was paroled in Feb of `65, chances are very good that he spent time in the stockade at Florence, SC as well as Andersonville.
