Did he survive the war. If so, he probably has a pension file. His service record might tell when he was exchanged or released or else the pension file will. If I have information on his regiment and/or where he was from, I can probably find out if and when he was released from Andersonville this week. Browse back through the messages from GM for I think January. The park historian from Andersonville sent in his name and an offer to research prisoners.
