Allamakee Co. list members -- a couple of you were wondering why the notices of new postings to the Allamakee boards are coming from me & one person was quite irritated that I was passing these notices to the list. To explain: IAGen is currently working on the posting boards to make a gate-way possible (like the Rootsweb/Ancestry gate-way). Also, the subscription notifications aren't working properly. Until these things are up and running, I will be notifying the list of new notifications. If you do not wish to receive these notices either delete the message when it comes to your inbox or un-subscribe to the list.

Hello veterans and newbies of the rootsweb. This posting has been preapproved my the list owner. There are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. There are Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. As there are 1542 prisoners on record from the state of Iowa and almost 300 who died here, I thought I would send my offer. . I feel the need to say I am not in anyway trying to focus on the horrors of Andersonville compared to any POW camp in the north ..( i.e.Elmira ) or any others and do not wish to stir up arguments on this site. My focus is dedicated to ALL of those held prisoner during this war , on both sides as well as all Americans who gave their freedoms for those that we enjoy today.. I just happen to be near Andersonville so this is where I do my work Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of 12960 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. I would like to let you know of another service I offer which is to take photos of graves for a small fee. Please do not consider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking and will be posted on this county site only once. If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask. Please visit my website dedicated to those Americans who were imprisoned and died in captivity while in the service to our country Kevn Frye Local Andersonville Historian / National Park Service Volunteer http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/Andersonvilleprison/index.html AOL USERS go to http://hometown.aol.com/andersonvillecw/

A note on the Rootsweb cemetery record says "mother" for Beulah SMITH. Am I correct in assuming that Thomas A.

I would never have found my gg grandfather's birth and death dates otherwise.
