Hi all,

I have just completed the informational pages for the Georgia Civil War
Soldiers Index. http://www.rootsweb.com/~gagenweb/military/gsi/index.html

=====================
I want to thank Virginia Crilley and Tim Stowell for lots of help and
encouragement during the course of this project.
Feel free to link to it from your county sites, special project sites,
personal sites, etc.
=====================

The Index is an alphabetical listing of most soldiers serving the state of
Georgia during the War Between the States. In all, the list contains over
211,000 records, with more (approximately 10-20,000) to come in the next few
months.

I have received approximately 450 emails regarding this Index since it went
online in late December. I have received many thanks from those who have
found information on their ancestors. Along with many of these thanks, came
offers to assist me in my genealogy research should the need arise.

Please save your offers to help me personally. Instead of using your time to
email me (unless you have a question not contained in the FAQ), please
transcribe a deed, or a will. Anything you have lying around in your files.
When you have it transcribed, send it to the county coordinator for that
county, and/or the county file manager for the Archives. Let's get a much
larger amount of free data online this year, than has been seen in all
previous years.

I hope the Index helps you in your research, I know it has mine.

Sincerely,

Keith Giddeon
