I've seen this posting on a couple of list, so I thought I would share the good news. Fortunately, more and more County sites are getting census and other information, such as the 1890 Special Veterans census, posted. See item that I have 'pasted' below the first e-mail. =============== Hi everyone, Last night at a lecture, I was talking to my friend & colleague Dr. Robert (Bob) PLOWMAN of the Mid-Atlantic National Archives in Philadelphia. He told me that on July 1, 2000, the cost of the Military Records was going from $10.00 to $17.50 & the cost of the Pension Records from $10.00 to $40.00 this is for the Revolutionary War, Civil War, etc. So you may want to send for these records before the cost goes up! Happy hunting, Helen ==================== SECOND E-MAIL ------------ 1890 Special Schedule, War of the Rebellion Survivors & Widows, Pulaski County, Kentucky Most of the 1890 population schedules were badly damaged by fire in 1921, & subsequently destroyed. None exist for Kentucky. However, most of the Special Military Schedules still exist, including those for Pulaski County, Kentucky. When you get to the page, you'll find a nifty alpha listing of names such as this: [see sample graphic in online version of the column.] I clicked on "Patterson, Daniel" in the index and was presented with the scanned image of the page where Daniel is listed with the rank of private, Company (A or H?) 7th Kentucky Infantry. You'll note other columns list: -- his date of enlistment -- date of discharge -- length of service. Thankfully, the top of each page states the source of the document as follows: "Pulaski Co, KY 1890 Special Schedule: War of the Rebellion Survivors & Windows. NARA Film M123, Roll 3. Donated to the USGenWeb Archives by V. J. Davis, Oct 1999." I then printed out the page by clicking the printer icon on my web browser tool bar. THANKS to the USGenWeb Census Archive Project -- You'll save a lot of time and money obtaining the document mentioning your ancestors -- no more traveling to the local FHCenter or regional branch of the National Archives, no rental fees, no photocopy fees. Bravo to Valerie J. Davis for her Pulaski County work, and to the coordinating team Maggie Stewart-Zimmerman, Janyce King, Tina Vickery, Mary Fullmer, Kelly Jensen-Mullins, and Linda Russell Lewis.
