Military service and pension records can offer an intimate glimpse into the life of an ancestor. Service records often include a physical description of the individual and list the battles they may have fought in. Pension records can provide a wealth of details about the veteran such as the names of his wife and children, date of marriage, service-related injuries, and places where he lived before and after service.
