I live 40 miles from Andersonville Civil War Prison in Macon County Georgia doing Volunteer lookups on the onsite database as well as on a CD that I purchased. To speed things up their records are also online at..... http;//www.corinthian.net/mccc/plookup.htm
Just enter the name you are looking for and search. If you have records showing your ancester was there, and hes not listed, I can check further as some mispellings happened during record keeping and I can check by alphabet on my CD. I also will take pics of graves found for a small fee. I go about twice a month. The records are very extensive as there were 13000 who died there and only 460 buried there as unknown.
