For me, it was well worth the cost. I found the information fascinating and although I knew a bit about Samuel, it was his wife's information that really helped. I found her birthdate and place and death date and place, which I hadn't been able to find previously. Additionally, Samuel had listed all of his children's birthdates, which helped. If you already have a lot of information I don't know how much would be new for you. Overall, I was happy with what I had.Brenda Leyndykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530495186632931677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767071377527744755.post-46485985379563942072011-03-21T10:35:11.140-04:002011-03-21T10:35:11.140-04:00Were you able to discover any important informatio...Were you able to discover any important information about your ancestor from these documents that you didn't already know? I already know quite a bit about the ancestor I thought of getting the pension file for and I'm not sure I am ready to spend $75...especially if the information doesn't get me much more than another source for information I already have. Based on your experience, would you suggest ordering the file?Heather Kuhn Roelkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247311735034470203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767071377527744755.post-64484302765904019962011-03-14T14:50:00.087-04:002011-03-14T14:50:00.087-04:00Thank you, Heather.

My ancestor applied for increases frequently, so I had 100 or so pages.Brenda Leyndykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530495186632931677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767071377527744755.post-28744834729742487952011-03-14T12:45:43.266-04:002011-03-14T12:45:43.266-04:00Very interesting.

I am thinking about requesting pension files for each of my ancestors and it is great to see some of the documentation included.<br /><br />Heather<br />www.leavesfortrees.blogspot.comHeather Kuhn Roelkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247311735034470203noreply@blogger.com
