This collection is also known as the "[http://linealarboretum.blogspot.com/2010/03/determining-if-your-ancestor-had-civil.html Organization Index]" and the "Civil War Pension Index Cards". It is similar to the "General Index to Pension Files". Each card gives the soldier’s name, application and certificate numbers, state of enlistment, and might include rank and death information.
