Thanks to Bob for posting those Civil War Pension cards. Now if those cards had a C-Number or an XC-Number on them (these don't) it would indicate that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has those records. The C or XC number would be all you need to request copies of those records. You can call 1-800-827-1000 to get the address of your local Veterans Service Center to mail your written request. Two caveats to this Do Not call a VA Medical Center - they will have no idea what you are talking about. Second - the average VA employee probably does not know they have Civil War records. Have fun!
