What's available for YOUR ancestor?

You're in the right place!  We specialize in military records at the National Archives from the 1800s, and can help you look up what records might be available for your ancestor so you know what to order.

Note:  If you have the pension index card already (see image below), you have what you need to order the records, and don't need to request this free lookup.  Check out the available records here.

If you have one of these cards, you have what you need to place the order! and don't need to submit a request to have us help you find it.

PLEASE ANSWER AS MANY OF THESE QUESTIONS AS YOU KNOW THE ANSWER TO.

Please include the regiment number of the soldier if you have access to it

(Also keep in mind that we unfortunately don't have access to Confederate records at the National Archives)
