Thanks for the correction. I always get that 's' in there where it doesn't belong. I did a one week free subscription and have been pulling up the images. I have been digging through the Rev. War records for all my surnames. Haven't found the ones I need yet but I found my late husband's Civil War ancestor up in Ohio.

You can do a full search, but you have to subscribe to get the images..Its stong point right now are the Rev War pension records - You are in for a surprise if you have been using Heritage Quest's pension records - Footnote has digitized the entire folders - some of which run to 40 to a 100 or more pages. The other advantage here is the index...I've been picking up my husband's ancestors buried in these records, because there has never, that I know of, a full index to the pensions.. They are also in the process of doing the same for the Civil War pensions. Ancestry is stabbing its self in the foot by having pulled out of the History Centers...
