Gary, the VA state library digital page, has all of the info you seek. The URL is ,<www.LVA.LIB.VA.us/dlp/index.htm>....First if you have Adobe Acrobat, then you have a Tiff reader. Once on the page GO to Military, click Go to Confederate Pensions click Now hit Boolean search, type in Pickeral click Now hit the name click, when you read the page if it is a Pittsy person, go to the TOP line, (further media info, I think) click, when the document page comes up click #1 , when the locked computer appears hit READ on site then okay, the docs will appear on screen, use the back button to return to see other documents. ALWAYS click the read on site....Look at all of the other Confederate references...You can enlarge, check the tool bar. There are about 10 PICKERAL/PICKERELL, almost all from southern VA. You'll love this site, Have fun, you can't do too much wrong, if I can work it anyone can, I'm a beginner Computer user. Email, if you need further help. Warm Regards, Margie Brown
