Civil War: New Jersey prisoners at Andersonville

The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System currently includes information about Andersonville prison camp in Andersonville, Georgia, (aka Camp Sumter) 
where more than 45,000 Union soldiers were confined. 

Cruel starvation and exposure caused the deaths of about 13,000 Union prisoners.  
Here's the list of 566 New Jersey prisoners or you can do a search.

The original link was very long so I used bitly.com to shorten it.

The photos were found on wikipedia's Andersonville page.
The photos are originally from the Library of Congress.

The Jersey City Volunteer Fire Department's members names,

This list is probably from the late 1860s.
