Nelson, Thanks for the information. I have some questions about where you found the information: (1)How were you able to look up the PA States Archives Card Files? Am I able to do the same thing from my computer? (2)Since I live in Florida, going to the Nat'l Archives in WashDC is out of the question. So since I do have the pension application numbers, how can I retrieve the original documentation? Thanks, Nora Florida Nrtennison@aol.com wrote: > > In a message dated 8/25/2007 11:01:08 AM Eastern Daylight Time, > cozycottage2005@bellsouth.net writes: > > I am trying to figure out where to get more Civil War information.
