Several people on the list asked me specifically where I found the records that I mentioned. I found mine at a local university library which had access to GenealogyBank.com. However, you can find some records at Google Books or try this link for on-line books: http://books.google.com/books?ei=58POSeySBODkmQeGtrGkCA&ct=title&q=Congressional+pension+records+and+increase+of+pensions You can download the monthly congressional documents at Google in a PDF format. Certain individuals have found this info and have posted it, along with their family tree, at rootsweb.com for their specific ancestor, so I know that the info it "out there" to access. If I find more specific info about it for on-line access, I'll let you know.

Here is another link for an index of Congressional records pensions that lists names alphabetically: http://books.google.com/books?id=LB0oAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA351&dq=Congressional+pension+records+and+increase+of+pensions#PPA10,M1 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mona Knight" <mknight5@ctc.net> To: <IOWA@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 28, 2009 8:50 PM Subject: [IOWA] Requests for Pensions and increase of pensions > Several people on the list asked me specifically where I found the records > that I mentioned.
