The Paper Trail - Finding Ancestors in Old Documents

This little corner of Olive Tree Genealogy is for miscellaneous old papers and documents. That's why I call it The Paper Trail.

The documents I'm collecting for researchers are varied - land grants, Civil War enlistment papers, military pay lists, receipts for items bought and sold, funeral expenses, court and legal documents, slave records, tax bills, receipts, indentures, etc

I have scans of the actual papers online for you to read. You can copy them to your own computer for your own use, but don't put them up on other websites - that's not okay.
