Florida State Archives
R.A. Gray Building
500 South Bronough Street
Tallahassee, FL 32399-0250
Florida State Archives
You must use this address if you are requesting Pension Records for someonewho served from Florida during the Civil War or before and drew a Pension and served as a Confedrate. The National Archives does not house that information on the men who were Confedrates. I hold a copy of the list for all states in the US if Florida does not apply to you and you need the address for another state send me an e-mail message requesting the address for the State that you need and I'll get the information out to you. Remember this is for PENSION records only! And only for men who fought on the CONFEDRATE side. All other records are at the National Archives and Records Administration Washington, DC 20408.
