The Elmira Prison Camp Online Library > Confederate and Union Index The story of a prison is told in the lives of its inmates. This section of the Elmira Prison Camp Online Library attempts to document the facts and lives of the Confederate prisoners and Union soldiers who lived there. In it, you will find stories, pictures, and biographies of men who were held prisoner. These are submitted by readers like you. If you wish to submit information on your ancestor, you may e-mail them to me. Due to the large numbers of submissions that have been received, the Index is broken up into groups. Confederate Index A - E F - J K - O P - T U - Z Union Index A - Z Due to the time that it takes to run the site, I cannot research specific individuals for you. However, the Links page has some good starting places for you. To see if your ancestor is located in the Index, you can search by using the search engine below. If you find that he is not here, e-mail his information to me. Please include at documents that you wish. Finally, if you know what state your ancestor came from, I've listed the state archives below. They are excellent sources for information about Confederate ancestors.
