Hi Everyone, Ancestry.com has opened up several of its Civil War databases for no charge in remembrance this Memorial Day. These databases are open (and free) starting today until June 10. These databases are free only when accessed through the PaCivilWar site at http://www.pacivilwar.com/freepension.html . Although hosted by a PA Civil War site, these databases give free access to the vets from all the states in the database. **FREE Civil War Pension Index Images of 2.5 million Federal pension application cards that includes the veteran's name, state, regiment. It also contains the certificate number that can be used to order a soldiers' service and pension records from NARA. Many times, these pension records are gold mines of genealogy information. **FREE 1890 Census Veterans Schedule Often used as a head-of-household substitute for the 1890 Federal Census that was destroyed by fire, the Veterans' Census of Union and some Confederate soldiers is one of the newest census digitized by Ancestry. **FREE Disabled Soldiers Home Soldiers at various National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers in 1895. Information includes name of soldier, company or regiment, rank, length of service, birth, age, where admitted from, occupation, married or single, and more. This invitation is being offered only to PACivilWar visitors at http://www.pacivilwar.com/freepension.html Follow the instructions on the page to register at Ancestry.com as PACivilWar's guest, and have fun! The registration to receive a user name and password to access the databases is free. If you want to share this invitation with friends, just forward this email to them, so they can take advantage of this limited time free access. If you think another mailing list or message board might want to know, please invite them, but be sure this message is on topic for the list before you forward it. For those of you researching Civil War soldiers, this is fantastic and it is easy on the pocketbook. Good luck in your research. Judy Neu Springwater, NY

Hi Judy, as far as I can tell it is not free. You can get the name you want to come up but then you have to sign up.
