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
