Okay - I have a question. I am trying to find John Horning/Hornung's civil war info - not his muster info, but the paperwork he filled out for next of kin, etc. Was there such a thing? I've ask NARA to look him up - and I mistakenly ordered the military history, which is just a copy of the slips of paper saying he was at muster, had a horse and gets paid, etc. I then tried to order the genealogist version of the pension, but got told that they couldn't find it. Could this mean that he died before he filed his pension? If so where can I look for this info? shouldn't they be somewhere in the Civil War files? --------------------------------- Sponsored Link Mortgage rates near 39yr lows. $420,000 Mortgage for $1,399/mo - Calculate new house payment
