ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

Do you have a Civil War soldier who fought? Lucky you! A Civil War pension file is one of the most informational records we can obtain about our ancestor, but we need to take the time to dissect this one record. Why were they created? When were they enabled by law? What does a typical pension contain and what atypical items might be found? Both Union and Confederate pensions will be discussed.
