Hi everyone,

The Pennsylvania Volunteers of the Civil War website,
http://www.pacivilwar.com , has partnered with Ancestry.com to open
several Ancestry military databases for NO CHARGE until June 10.

These databases are FREE only when accessed through the PA Civil War
site at http://www.pacivilwar.com/freepension.html .

The databases are:

**FREE 1890 Census Veterans Schedule
Often used as a head-of-household substitute for the 1890 Federal Census
that was destroyed by fire, the Veterans' Census of Union and some
Confederate soldiers is one of the newest census digitized by Ancestry.

**FREE Civil War Pension Index
Images of 2.5 million Federal pension application cards that includes
the veteran's name, state, regiment. It also contains the certificate
number that can be used to order a soldiers' service and pension records
from NARA. Many times, these pension records are gold mines of
genealogy information.

**FREE Disabled Soldiers Home
Soldiers at various National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers in
1895. Information includes name of soldier, company or regiment, rank,
length of service, birth, age, where admitted from, occupation, married
or single, and more.

This invitation is being offered only to PACivilWar visitors at
