Thanks to all who gave me some direction on how to locate these files. I agree that his transfer from the 2nd reg't to the 9th reg't may be causing some confusion. I do have a couple of names willing to go and locate the files for me. This is a great group of genealogist who are willing to share their experience.

David Vorce listed as Invalid has a pension application number given 17 Aug 1896, his widow filed 3 Nov 1923 and was given an application number. Both of them are also given certificate numbers and at the bottom of the index card is XC 2719583 I take it that's the pension number. I gave them that the first request but they came up with nothing. The only other thing I can think of is that David mustered in with the Co. K 2nd Reg't Heavy Art'y but was transferred to Co K 9th Reg't. I don't think I listed both reg't on my request but still the pension should be there for both David Vorce reg't right? I'm going to try one more time. Thanks to those for their input, Cindy --------------------------------- Discover Yahoo! Get on-the-go sports scores, stock quotes, news & more. Check it out! ==== OHCUYAHO Mailing List ==== Virus warnings RootsWeb's mailing lists are filtered and attachments are not allowed. A virus that is distributed as an attachment will not reach you through a RootsWeb mailing list. A recent virus, and several imitations of it, may result in your receiving an e-mail (or a greeting card) with a virus attached, that appears to come from RootsWeb or from an address you are familiar with. Some virus will send a message to all the unread messages in the infected person's mailbox folders; another will use addresses found in the infected person's address book. They send messages using a forged address (for instance, using RootsWeb or the infected person in the return address). The subject line may be from a message that was recently received, making it even more credible. While it may appear to come from RootsWeb, that is only an illusion of the virus -- our address and the subject line is a forgery. What can you do? Protect yourself by never opening an attachment from someone you do not know, or that look suspicious. If an unexpected attachment comes from someone you do know, write to confirm that the attachment was sent by them prior to opening it. If you have an e-mail from RootsWeb, and there is an attachment of any kind, don't open it. Use a virus protection program. Know what viruses are out there so you will recognize one when if you get it. There are sites that will help you, including those shown below. http://housecall.antivirus.com/pc_housecall/ http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ http://www.stanford.edu/group/partners/hoaxes.shtml http://kumite.com/myths/ http://www.mcafee.com/centers/anti-virus/default2.asp http://www.europe.f-secure.com/v-descs/newapt.htm Remember, if you do not open the attachment, you can not get infected with the virus. Delete it. Then empty the trash bin to make sure it is gone. If you are using an e-mail program that stores attachments elsewhere on your computer, such as Eudora, find it there and delete it too. ============================== Census images 1901, 1891, 1881 and 1871, plus so much more.
