I subscribed to Footnote yesterday and am overwhelmed just poking
around Culpeper VA veteran pension records.
[One particular image helped me sort out the 3 Philip CLAYTONs
(eternally goofed-up in all the old published genealogies) who served
at the same time in the Revolution. No small feat & well worth the
annual subscription fee which I found was half-price ($39.95) on Friday.]
Check out this press release: "National Archives and Footnote Launch
Project to Digitize Historic Documents" about the NARA partnering
with footnote.com to get among other things, images of the veteran
documents out to the public!

I subscribe to Ancestry.com too but...if I can ultimately download
complete military records of my various lines throughout the
centuries directly, well uhmm, that speaks directly to the wee bit o'
Scot left in me.
