I have three civil war ancestors of my own. Learning about their lives has been quite
enlightening. One of my ancestors was wounded, captured and later died of his wounds. I
learned this by ordering their service and pension records. However at $75 per pension
record file ordering them from NARA can be very expensive. I was able to hire a profession
genealogist from the NARA area. I paid less than 1/2 of what I would have if I order them
directly from NARA. I also received the copies much faster. See my blog about the details
at
Civil War Ancestors.
