I recently received the pension file for one of my Civil War veterans. I have a couple of questions: 1. The veteran was an immigrant and I don't think he was naturalized (at least I can't find any record that he was). There is no information in the papers that were sent to me about where (other than just "Germany") or when he was born nor when he entered the country. Is there somewhere else that I can ask for records, such as the enlistment form or something, that would give that information to me? There was no enlistment form in the packet sent to me. Just the pension declarations and the disability discharge. Is that normal? 2. The widow testified that "George Hessig was married to Louisa Krecher, who died he then married Julia Ann Schoenbach as shown by varified copy of marriage certificate and was divorced as shown by the records. This second marriage of my late husband I know nothing of until I obtained the record of said marriage and divorce." There were no copies of those records in the packet. Again, is there more to the pension file and I asked for the wrong thing or is there another record I need to request? Thank you for your assistance. Sherri Hessick thessick@flash.net
