The actual pension records that the "Organization Index" and "General Index" refer to are currently only available through the National Archives. Fold3.com is in the process of digitizing records of approved pension applications for the years 1861-1910, the "Civil War "Widows' Pensions". These records have never been microfilmed and are being digitized directly from the original documents. The process is very slow and may take quite some time. You can check their progress at [http://www.fold3.com/title_24/civil_war_widows_pensions Fold3.com]. For information on how to order pension records from the National Archives see [[Requesting copies of Civil War service and pension records|requesting copies of Civil War service and pension records]]. | The actual pension records that the "Organization Index" and "General Index" refer to are currently only available through the National Archives.
