Listers, I recently received Forms 85 and 86 to request Military and Pension records from the National Archives. Also, some form of land record associated with the military records. I was very excited to identify my gg-father's Civil War regiment, but am a little discouraged by the price of ordering this info. I would like to accumulate as much info as available, but I am not sure what info is in these records. Is anyone familiar with these documents and the ordering process. Should I order both the Pension and Military records, or is this info redundant? What kind of info is in these Civil War records? Do I need to order the complete pension file at abt. $37 or is the general pension info sufficient at abt. $18? Also, what are these land records? Thanks, Christopher L.
