Ludia,

I believe that Civil War Pension files
rarely name the parents, but do often
name the children and spouse.

Did your ancestor live in NY until at least
1880? If so, you may be able to find
the name of his parents on his death certificate
after 1880.

Also, you might want to mention the name and regiment
of your ancestor. This list is archived
and that will allow researchers to contact you.

you posted:
I have Ciivil War papers that I sent for, for my great grandfather but they
do not list his parents names.

Does anyone know if the papers might sometimes show parents?
