You might be able to get them from Ancestry and Fold 3 if you have access to them.

Union or Confederate? Normally, Union files are with the Federal Government and Confederate with the individual Confederate states. This is an oversimplified answer. There are some Confederated records with the National Archives. Which side? Which state? One hundred and fifty years after it was contested, the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War offers an unparalleled opportunity to discover, discuss, and commemorate America's greatest national crisis, and explore its enduring relevance in the 21st century. As part of its commemoration of the Civil War Sesquicentennial, the National Park Service has launched a website that provides an overview of the war, with special emphasis on Civil War sites administered and preserved by the NPS. http://www.nps.gov/index.htm Trevia Wooster Beverly Houston, Texas -----Original Message----- From: roots-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:roots-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of wanda ingram and charles dorff Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2012 12:41 PM To: roots@rootsweb.com Subject: [ROOTS-L] Civil War Papers Could someone tell me how to order Civil War papers (pension, service records, etc.)?
