Is your soldier in the index?

 If you're not sure if your soldier is in the index, you're in the right place!  We specialize in military records at the National Archives from the 1800s, and can help you look up your soldier in the index so you can order the right records.  

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 lookup.  Check out the available records here.

  The pension index card (pictured below) has everything that we need in order to get his files from the National Archives.

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)

 

Please note that if you have the pension index card already (pictured at the top of this page), you don't need to fill out this request to have us look it up.  The pension index card has everything that we need in order to find his records at the National Archives.  You can see what kinds of records are available here instead of filling out the form below
