Michele: After several fruitless searches, I tried Google for "Cemeteries in GA". The second hit was Genweb/archives/ga/richmond/cemeteries. Clicking on that brought up a list. I chose Ft. Gordon.txt and there it was! Interestingly, I had just recently sent that site to a Genealogy friend in Germany because of the POW graves listed - thinking that she might help make it known to German researchers. But I hadn't even noticed all the other cemeteries listed! One track mind!

Sorry ... I tried it again and got a totally different result (and I had written it down so carefully). I'm working on finding it again!
