Thanks for the reference to Point Lookout records. Unfortunately the link you provided doesn't work.
I'm interested because my wife's great-grandfather is known to have died there as a prisoner and is not listed in the death records we've been able to find.

If you can post his name and unit, I can run it through the database here. I can't guarantee that it will produce results but I am happy to try.
One thing you need to remember about the death records is that many soldiers went into the camp and were identified but later died as unknowns. If they died without identification and no one could identify them, they were buried "unknown" and listed on death records as such.

your ancestor is likely one of thousands of the DISAPPEARRED, who lost their lives to the cruelty & hatefulness of the damnyankees.
serena, of FR, also is one of the desendents of a "mysteriously disappearred" CSA POW.
true southrons honor your ancestor as a HERO-MARTYR to the TRUE CAUSE.
