MILITARY RECORDS -
WAR BETWEEN THE STATES
MUSTER ROLLS
Thanks to Peggy Powell (peggypowell@hotmail.com) for the following contribution:
When it said mother, gdsn, minor, widow, etc.; this means the veteran is deceased or disabled. Certificate numbers were given to each receipent, that is the reason for more than one number. If you order the original pension file under the soldier's name, you should receive some papers that would tell you who all received monies under this soldier. GSA will send only those papers they think you will want. If you want the entire file, you must print at the top SEND COMPLETE FILE. They will still send only those papers they think you want, then tell you the cost for the rest of the file. The price has gone up considerably. Back in 1980, 130 pages was copied for $30.00. But in 1987, the cost had risen to $105.35 and did not give a total of pages that would be copied
