Hi Everyone,

In today's Times Picayune there was an article stating an online data
base for Confederate Pension Applications.  The Confederate Pension
Applications Collection consists of alphabetically arranged applications
for pensions that were granted to veterans and widows beginning in 1898,
and recorded on 152 reels of microfilm.  The pension applications may
include service information, occupation, place of residence and number
of children.  Other materials that may have been included with
applications are letters, notes, check copies, newspaper clippings,
court papers of various types, obituaries, and other records.

The database is found in the Archives Research Library Section of the
Secretary of State's Web site at

www.sec.state.la.us/archives

and will be expanded soon to include military unit search capabilities.

For information, call the Archives Research Library at 225-922-1208.
