I have two questions: Question 1 It is my understanding that at the end of the CW, Confederate veterans were required to sign an "Oath of Allegiance" to the United States of America. The soldier was given a document which recorded the fact that he had taken the "oath", and could use that document to conduct whatever business it would allow him to perform business of a legal nature, such as deeds, ability to vote, transmittal of property. Can anyone tell me where a record of those Oaths for Missouri Veterans would be found? Question 2 My ancestor was a member of the Jasper County United Confederate Veterans Camp of Webb City # 522. Can anyone tell me the history of that group and if its records are available? Thank you for any help. Christie Russell
