Additionally, There are "515 rolls of microfilm containing the compiled service records of volunteer Union soldiers belonging to units from KY" and 136 rolls of similar records for Confederate soldiers. (Hogan, "Kentucky Ancestry"). These records do NOT contain the family information that is often found in the pension application files. Confederate soldiers were ineligible for a Federal pension, so the individual states had to compensate their Confederate veterans. See "Kentucky Ancestry" by Roseann Hogan for more info.
