As long as we're talking about Lincoln

Lincoln's birthday celebration brings to mind the Civil War, which brings to mind Veterans, which brings me to Ancestry.com adding records (I feel like a Laura Numeroff story "If you give a librarian ....").

Today's Genealogy Insider by Diane Haddad noted the addition of a number of resources to Ancestry. The one that caught my eye pertains to Georgia.

Confederate Pension Applications from Georgia includes more than 60,000 records documenting pension applications Confederate soldiers and their widows filed in Georgia. (Search these free on the Georgia State Archives Web site.)
