Hi Norma, Here's an example of a Civil War record transcription, done by my buddy J. Goddard - http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/blair/military/civilwar/pensions/mackeymhcw.txt Here's a Huntingdon county record by Sana McGhee and Allen Nickol - http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/huntingdon/military/goodman-benjamin-f.txt A Mifflin example - http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/mifflin/military/revwar/pensions/cunning-j.txt A Luzerne example - http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/luzerne/military/pensions/deha0001.txt A Philly example - http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/philadelphia/military/zoll-j.txt They're all in USGenWeb Archives by county. If you go here http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/pasearch.htm and enter "civil war pension record" in quotes in the search box, you'll find those that have been transcribed for PA. I don't envy you the task of transcribing a military record. I think they're much more difficult to transcribe than wills or deeds. If you would be so kind, when you finish your transcription, you might consider contributing it through the form you'll find here - http://www.genrecords.org/pafiles/ Judy ----- Original Message ----- From: "norma" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 10:30 AM Subject: Re: [PAHUNTIN] Re: Huntingdon County Wills Judy some info please.

Well Judy your right about it being hard. I still have some empty spots that I just have not been able to make it out. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judy Banja" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 12:59 PM Subject: [PAHUNTIN] Military service and pension records > Hi Norma, > > Here's an example of a Civil War record transcription, done by my buddy J. > Goddard - > http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/blair/military/civilwar/pensions/mackeymhcw.txt > > Here's a Huntingdon county record by Sana McGhee and Allen Nickol - > http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/huntingdon/military/goodman-benjamin-f.txt > > A Mifflin example - > http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/mifflin/military/revwar/pensions/cunning-j.txt > > A Luzerne example - > http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/luzerne/military/pensions/deha0001.txt > > A Philly example - > http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/philadelphia/military/zoll-j.txt > > They're all in USGenWeb Archives by county. > > If you go here > http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/pasearch.htm > and enter "civil war pension record" in quotes in the search box, you'll > find > those that have been transcribed for PA. > > I don't envy you the task of transcribing a military record.
