For those new to the roots web and those of you veterans I would like to say that there are many folks who subscribe that are willing to do what they can to help others in their research. 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. There are 1743 prisoners of war on record from the state of Indiana and about 700 who died here, I thought I would send my offer. I also do the research for any prisoners from any state that were here. 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 mispellings 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. Please do not concider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking and will be posted on this county site only once. Please email me directly for lookup request at [email protected] I also take grave photos for a small fee that covers my cost. If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.

Some of my ancestors (Odells) moved from Lawrence County to Greene County, IN, in the early 1800s. I found some of my Lancaster and Dobbins ancestors buried in the small Waggoner/Wagoner (Wollam) Cem, near the Kentucky Ridge and Owensburg, Greene, IN. The cemetery is on the edge of the Crane Naval base and can be seen and reached from the road (Route 58/45). I hope this may be a lead for you.
