Complete Set of Civil War records for your Union Army Soldier (pension, service records, carded medical records)
Complete Set of Civil War records for your Union Army Soldier (pension, service records, carded medical records)
Not every soldier has a pension file. Please do not order the pension file if you're not sure if he has a file. You will need the pension index card in order to place the order. If you don't know if he got a pension or don't have the pension index card, and we can help you before you place this order.
NOTE: NOT EVERY SOLDIER HAS A PENSION FILE, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW THERE IS ONE ONE AVAILABLE. If you're not sure, please contact first and we can help you determine if there is a file to get.
This package is the best way to get a complete picture of your ancestor's time in the war. This includes all four of the records that are available for each soldier. This includes:
