Over the years I have poster here and at Roots web a lot of information on pension, but I have never said anything about the men and women, who had unfavorable pension reports and didn’t receive one. I will now correct that error now, I always tried to help those family’s that were looking to see if an ancestor got a pension. It never accrued to me to look for those that didn’t receive a pension. The idea behind this web site is to find as many of your ancestors as possible to help you place his or her name in the right time and place in your family's history.
