Thank you for all the responses to my question about Civil War Pensions. I really enjoyed the personal stories. It is so enjoyable to hear about other families pieces telling a story. Ruth - Wow!! - Thanks so much for the information from the "Encyclopedia of the American Civil War". I truly appreciate the information you shared and that you gave the source. I had to just say Thanks. You are all wonderful. Keep up the good work and the heartfelt help. ~Susan
I have enjoyed all the info about the Civil War Pensions as well. How do you go about looking up the info for a specific ancestor?

You can fill out a form from the National Archives (# of form escapes me at the moment) and request a search from Archives. I'm not sure how expensive that is at this time because I know the archives was planning on going up in price quite a bit. Also, ancestry.com has an index if I remember correctly (it has been a while since I used my ancestry account). If you can find the pension file # it makes things easier when requesting the file from the archives. Laurel > I have enjoyed all the info about the Civil War Pensions as well.
