Thanks, Keith, for this marvelous work... Keith Giddeon" <keith@giddeon.com> Hi all, I have just completed the informational pages for the Georgia Civil War Soldiers Index. http://www.rootsweb.com/~gagenweb/military/gsi/index.html ===================== I want to thank Virginia Crilley and Tim Stowell for lots of help and encouragement during the course of this project. Feel free to link to it from your county sites, special project sites, personal sites, etc. ===================== The Index is an alphabetical listing of most soldiers serving the state of Georgia during the War Between the States. In all, the list contains over 211,000 records, with more (approximately 10-20,000) to come in the next few months. I have received approximately 450 emails regarding this Index since it went online in late December. I have received many thanks from those who have found information on their ancestors. Along with many of these thanks, came offers to assist me in my genealogy research should the need arise. Please save your offers to help me personally. Instead of using your time to email me (unless you have a question not contained in the FAQ), please transcribe a deed, or a will. Anything you have lying around in your files. When you have it transcribed, send it to the county coordinator for that county, and/or the county file manager for the Archives. Let's get a much larger amount of free data online this year, than has been seen in all previous years. I hope the Index helps you in your research, I know it has mine. Sincerely, Keith Giddeon Virginia Crilley
