Have you identified a Union or Confederate Civil War soldier in your ancestry? Lucky you. These records are the most accessible of all military records. We will discuss the history of these records, who was included and excluded, and the changes in the law. Civil War Pension records contain a wealth of information. We will compare two pension packets, Confederate and Union–and how to acquire, use them and the stories they tell.

Great webinar. The examples were very helpful and seeing the pension office photo was interesting. Thanks for all these great webinars!
I am simply amazed at the Civil War knowledge that Jill Morelli demonstrated in the webinar. She must do extensive historical reading on each veteran, which she has researched. Great webinar and thanks for demonstrating what records are available.
I have been searching Civil War pension records at NARA for about a year. I learned so much from this webinar. Her presentation style was excellent.
I have gotten record on my soldiers, however this lecture added so many items that I never thought of. More research to do!
I learned a great deal.
I learned a lot about resources available that I was unaware of. GREAT JOB!
I learned a lot about the pension files. I have Civil War ancestors, however, have not ordered the files because I did not want to be disappointed if the information was only relating to their service. So, I have learned that there is much more information relating to the person and family than I expected. I will definitely be ordering my soldiers pension files. Do you think you would have enough information to make this an ongoing series? Perhaps more tips, research, or file informatoin? Thanks
I really enjoyed the webinar, learned a lot to give me new ways to supplement the research I have already done. Jill is a wonderful speaker!
I’m glad to know how to read pension records. Great information!

Jill Morelli continues to do a great job of educating us. Even though I have purchased CW pension files and know quite a bit about it, I still learned some new tips and tricks. When it comes to genealogy, you can never know enough.

Now to get the resources to begin to search for family soldier members.
OUTSTANDING in everyway !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Outstanding!
Presented several sites to search that will hopefully help find CW record of my GGF. Just recently learned of his service, on his tombstone served under Gen. Jackson.
Probably the best webinar I’ve ever listened to. I’m already planning to listen to it again. Thank you!
She demystified this process. Thanks!
