This is the easiest file in American genealogy to get: all eighty thousand are microfilmed (NARA M804), digitized, and searchable by name. Most families can be reading their ancestor's file tonight.
Files run from a few pages to over a hundred; the 1832-act files carry the veteran's own narrative of his service. Here is what our report does with this record, and the waitlist below holds today's price for you.
Good news first: for this war, the file itself usually costs nothing. The pension files are already scanned and free to view online, so the whole journey is often just the report: $99 for the pension or bounty-land file, $149 with a service record read alongside it, delivered in days once you've downloaded the pages. The only real cost is the hour it takes to find your soldier in the index, and the guide above spends it for you.
We're opening in stages, by record type. The more you tell us, the sooner we get to yours.
We'll be in touch when your record type opens. If you told us you're still waiting on a file, we'll send you the ordering instructions in the meantime.
