Pension
Record Search __ provides copies
of your Union soldier's ( AL, FL., VA., SC Conf. soldier's) official military pension
documents. These documents relate to any applications for a pension
claim by your soldier, or your soldier's widow. The records can contain
death certificates, letters or affidavits from officers, doctors, siblings,
and neighbors, the soldier's application in his own handwriting, children's
birth records, and even pages from family Bibles. There could also
be pay vouchers, muster rolls, parole material, hospital admission slips,
and a marriage license. Pension records quite often unearth new discoveries
about Civil War soldiers that were unknown to families! |
We have no way of knowing or estimating the bulk of content beforehand,
but your soldier's pension records could be a treasure trove of family
information – a wealth of personal and family genealogical information
not found anywhere else. |
What was your soldier's last address? Who were your soldier's neighbors?
How many siblings did your soldier have, and where did they live?
Was your soldier married more than once? Find out more about your
Civil War ancestor than you ever thought possible. Order your soldier's
Pension Records and discover important facts about your family's history. |

A
Pension Record contains all of the various documents that were accumulated
relating to your soldier's application for a pension, or claims made by
his widow or minor children's. Included would be paperwork from the claim
approvals, denials, and subsequent reviews, typically documentation covering
many years of your soldier's life.
Your soldier's actual claim will show his name, place of birth, date of
birth, military units in which he served ranks achieved, and terms of service.
It usually provides his residence after service, his widow's application,
including her maiden name, age, address, date/ place of marriage, and birth
information of any children. Underage dependents were also allowed
to file claims and these can also include birth information and addresses.
Any paperwork accumulated resulting from the action the Pension Board or
other authorities took regarding your soldier's claim, which could be quite
a lot of correspondence (affidavits taken from relatives and neighbors,
review board material, etc.) are also included. Friends, relatives,
and neighbors were often asked to supply information regarding the character
and physical condition of the soldier, as well as any information pertaining
to occupation.

you are not sure of your soldier's complete name, we suggest purchasing
the SOLDIER SEARCH

UNION __ We
will need to know the state
in which your soldier served.
If you are not sure of your soldier's state affiliation, we suggest purchasing
our SOLDIER SEARCH
NAME LIST ($10.00 for the 1st page) which lists soldiers of the same
or similar name along with their state affiliations.
Your
Soldier's UNIT: We will need to know the unit in which
your soldier served. These are usually numbered regiments or battalions
(such as 26th N.C. Infantry or 1st Indiana Cavalry) but may also be a named
unit, such as the Washington Artillery. Please note the "type" of
unit: Infantry, Artillery, Cavalry, Sharpshooters, Engineers, etc.
If you do not know the unit in which your soldier served, we suggest purchasing
our
