I'm currently researching a veteran who spent some time in Oregon and who died at Andersonville. I've ordered his service record but thought I'd also see if the Andersonville site folk had any information on his time there (figuring his service record likely ends at his capture). The prison records are available on Familysearch but lots of the pages aren't really readable but I figured somebody has transcribed all that stuff over the years. Anyway the site says they'll look up records so I used their link and asked for whatever they had.
Today - a month later (and a Sunday) - I got a response from a woman who said they didn't have any records for my guy. This was very strange as he has a stone at the national cemetery (among other pieces of evidence). So, I immediately responded with a link to his FindAGrave memorial which has a good photo of the stone - with his burial number - and his VA burial record; no response so far (been several hours now).
Oh well.
