Andersonville, Georgia, Civil War Prison

Contact Info for Researcher Kevin Frye

Following is text from an e-mail directed to subscribers to the RootsWeb.com mailing list:

I would like to welcome those of you new to this site and tell you 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. Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. There are more than 4,274 prisoners on record from the state of Pennsylvania and more than 1,800 who died here.

Here are my sources of research:
There are two 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 some 13,000 graves with only 460 marked as "UNKNOWN" along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there. It 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.

If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.
