Hi Karen I wrote to: State of Louisiana Secretery of State Division Of Archcives'Records Managements and History 3851 Essex Lane P O Box 94125 Baton Rouge, LA 70804-9125 The cost was $10 for a copy of the documents. Mine was several pages long and included letters written by my ancestor's commanding officers. The information is not online. When you write be sure to give them all the information you have on his service, i.e. regiment, company, where he enlisted, where he died and when, etc. Just everything you know including his wife's name in case she applied. She may not havve applied but then again she may have since she had a young family to support. Be sure to state he was a Confederate soldier. Good luck Marguerite
