**** HERKIMER COUNTY NY MILITARY INDEX PAGE **** |
---|
Our popular "Where the Boys Were" section outgrew its spot on our main page long ago. For over eighteen years we've risen to the challenge of posting great info about our county heroes. Current articles are updated if we receive new information. We hope you visit this section on a regular basis and will contribute your veteran's data as so many other researchers have. We'd like to see more Civil War pension records and letters come in, as well as notification of good sites to link to of interest to Mohawk Valley researchers.
A special feature of this section, the Military Roll of Honor, showcases your own relatives' participation in the Revolutionary War,
War of 1812, Mexican War, Civil War, Spanish-American War, WWI, WWII, and the Korean War. If your ancestor or relative was born, raised or lived in Herkimer or Montgomery County, NY, send us their name, town and the war they served in for inclusion on the Military Honor Roll. Of special interest are Herkimer/Montgomery veterans who moved on and served in other states. |

Herkimer/Montgomery Counties Memorial Day 1997 Roll of Honor: a large listing of ancestors from Herkimer and Montgomery, submitted by site visitors. So successful that we created a year-round Roll of Honor. This file is 17 years old as of Memorial Day 20134 so email addresses are likely not up-to-date. If you find that an email address no longer works, please advise us, with "1997 Military Honor Roll" as the subject of your email. However, we're unable to assist you in tracking down a researcher. If we knew a researcher's current email address, the address
posted would have been updated.

Friends of the Florence Stockade, Florence, SC: the Florence Stockade was in operation for approximately 5 months during the time period of Sept 1864 through Feb 1865. During this time, as many as 15-18,000 Union soldiers were held captive. Of these, 2,802 Union soldiers died; 2,300 of whom are buried as unknowns today. The Florence Stockade has not received the same notoriety as Andersonville, but the conditions were very much the same. Among the soldiers held at Florence were members of the 43rd NY Volunteer Infantry. This site is dedicated to both the memory of the prisoners and those who guarded them.

Andersonville Prison Camp Lookups (Civil War)
If you go to my homepage and to the Atwater Death list link, you will find there were a great majority who died there from New York. My name is Kevin Frye and to get to the point,I do volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War POW camp in Andersonville Georgia. Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. I see you have the Macon lookup site as a link, but I have more access to the rosters than what is on the online database.
My sources are the following - There are 2 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 13000 graves with only 460 marked as "UNKNOWN". This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which 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. Please see my website which is dedicated to those who passed through the gates of Andersonville.
