Hello Everyone I am very excited to say that Kevin Frye, who is a specialist on the Andersonville POW Camp which is very close to Houston County, will be willing to answer questions about 4600 Confederate Guards at Andersonville as well as the many POW's. If anyone has a look up for Kevin, about Andersonville or about POW's or Guards and Camp Military Personnel, please feel free to ask Kevin for a look-up. What we won't be doing is reliving the Civil War or making comparisons to Elmira or Northern prisons. Prison Camp are by definition horrible places and sadly still in existence today. I know many of us are still Rebels at heart, but I want to make sure we have a warm Southern welcome for Kevin and show our Southern Hospitality and gracious Southern manners. Kevin says " I enjoy talking about Andersonville and love to find information for researchers who had ancestors here. I have a copy of the park database which has 42261 records on Union prisoners..... AS WELL as more than 4600 Confederate guards who were here. This I would think be of interest as most guards were from your area and 40 mile perimiter of the historic site." This is a wonderful offer, because I know I have questions to ask about Houston County men stationed at Andersonville. Kevin, please join us and give us some general information on Andersonville. Once we have heard from Kevin, we can ask for lookups or general questions. Please have your subject line include Andersonville. Kevin, please feel free to tell us the best way to request lookups, the information you require, etc. Best regards, Gaila Merrington

Would it be possible to arrange for volunteers to transcribe the list of GUARDS ? On Jun 16, 2004, at 10:39 PM, Gaila & James Merrington wrote: > answer questions about 4600 Confederate Guards at
