FINDING YOUR CIVIL WAR SOLDIER AND PENSION

Jane Bouley will guide the audience through resources related to Civil Was Soldiers particularly their pension record.  The power point program will be Tuesday, September 18th at 7 pm at the Blackstone Memorial Library.  A donation of $5.00 is suggested to benefit the Branford Historical Society’s Scholarship Fund. The pension is a treasure trove of information about the soldier, his service, physical appearance, family history, occupation and employment.  There will be many Branford examples.  Bouley has researched 450 soldier in preparation of a manuscript on Branford and North Branford’s Civil War Soldiers.
