I live 40 miles from Andersonville Civil War Prison in Macon County Georgia and have had a very sucessful several months doing Volunteer lookups on the onsite database as well as on a CD that I purchased so I can do this at home. 
My lookups are at no charge for anyone who ask. I also will take pics of graves found for a small fee. I go about twice a month and altho I have a great deal of sucess...Im keeping up with the large  amount of request. The records are very extensive as there were 13000 who died there and only 460 buried there as unknown.
