Again I ask a question about the War of 1812.. I have appreciated all of 
you who have answered my questions.. but I have yet another one.. 
 
Does the FHC have the same War of 1812 records that NARA has?
 
Ellie Swanger, CO




No. The FHC may have copies of the NARA microfilm.  The 1812 Compiled 
Military Service Records, the pension application files, the Unindexed Bounty 
Land Applications, the Surrendered Warrants, and the manuscript files are all 
textual/original records ONLY available at NARA. Other land records are also 
in original/textual form.
 
Check the NARA website 
_http://www.archives.gov/research/military/war-of-1812/_ (http://www.archives.gov/research/military/war-of-1812/) 
for a brief description of what might be found.
 
M1856, Discharge Certificates and Miscellaneous Records Relating to the 
Discharge of Soldiers from the Regular Army, 1792-1815 part of _Records of the 
Adjutant General's Office, 1780's-1917, Record Group (RG) 94_ 
(http://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/094.html)  is a NARA film that 
has not been duplicated by the FHL.
 
_https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/NARA_and_FHL_film_numbers_ 
(https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/NARA_and_FHL_film_numbers)  is the link that translates 
the NARA film numbers to FHL numbers. The on-line listing has a date of 
2008. 
 
I apologize if this shows up twice.
