...
It's Treasure Chest Thursday, time to share one of the documents or artifacts in my family history collection. In many previous posts, I have displayed documents from the Civil War Pension File of Isaac Seaver, my second great-grandfather.
I received the complete Civil War Pension File for Isaac Seaver on 3 January - see my post My Christmas Present Came Today - Oh Boy! - and it has 81 pages in the file. Some of them have little or no information on them.
This week, I'm making a Compendium of my Isaac Seaver Civil War posts, since I'm having difficulty determining what I've posted and what I haven't posted.
I need to make a list of the pages in the Civil War Pension File as provided by NARA, put them in a date order, and then correlate the pages in the file with the posts in this compendium. I should have done this when I first received the file, but I didn't - I was too anxious to jump into the details of the pages and discover nuggets of information.
So here are my Treasure Chest Thursday posts to date, with post dates and page numbers from the Pension File:
* Treasure Chest Thursday - Isaac Seaver's Pension Declaration (18 November 2010, page 58)
* Treasure Chest Thursday - Isaac Seaver's Civil War Pension File: Widow's First Declaration (25 November 2010, page 69)
