For any of you genealogy/history buffs out there, I just thought I'd offer this: To make a long story bearable, I'll try to keep it simple. While tracking down an ancestor a few years ago, I found that he had served briefly in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. He was captured and taken to a Federal prison camp in Chicago, IL called Camp Douglas. He soon died there, at the age of 19, as did about six thousand others. Anyway, there is a monument at Oak Woods Cemetery in Chicago where most of the camp's dead were reinterred. On the monument is a list of over 4000 names of Confederate soldiers who are buried there. There is a list of these dead called "Chicago Civil War Encyclopedia Confederate Mound Index." I have a copy (not easily available) and if anyone else out there believes they may have an ancestor there, I'd be glad to check the list for their name. Each entry includes name, regiment (including state) and date of death if known. I don't do genealogical research for hire or anything like that, and the offer is just for those who have reason to believe that they have an ancestor interred there, and haven't visited the site to read the names on the monument. The prison camp is discussed in a very thorough book called "To Die In Chicago: Confederate Prisoners at Camp Douglas 1862-65" by George Levy. Also a DVD entitled "Eighty Acres of Hell" is available from the History Channel. And to those of you with Confederate Phobia, I had two ancestors in the Confederate Army and two in the Union Army. My other Confederate ancestor returned from the war and became a businessman. One of my Union ancestors died in Andersonville Prison in Georgia, and the other returned to his native southern Illinois to resume farming. Some kind of symmetry there.
