1890 Veterans Schedules[edit | edit source]
As part of the regular enumeration of the population in 1890, a special enumeration was also done of Union veterans and widows. The returns are available in the following collection:
The "Special Schedules of the Eleventh Census (1890) Enumerating Union Veterans and Widows of Union Veterans of the Civil War" (NARA M123). The schedules for the states of Alabama through Kansas and approximately half of those for Kentucky were destroyed by fire prior to microfilming. The schedules for the remaining states and the District of Columbia are available in this collection.[1]
The records give name, rank, company, regiment or vessel, dates of enlistment and discharge, length of service, residence, disability, and remarks.
Where to Find the Records[edit | edit source]
