Hello, Re the inquiry about military records, about 5 years ago I sent for my great Uncle's military records. He was in the Spanish American War and rec'd a pension. I received copies (About 100 pages) of what was in the file. I just looked at them again. They do not show his parents' names. Yet, they do have a copy of his death certificate. Parents' names were listed as unknown probably because he died alone and away from home. There were several letters from family members looking for him over the years. A lot of medical information was included. Place of birth is listed as Tyrone, Ireland and as Invah, Tyrone, Ireland. There was a lot of interesting information included. I could follow the many places where my uncle lived over the years. Also, with this documented information I was able to use these records to document other family members. My records were scarce for one of his brothers but the fact the brother wrote a letter to the government trying to locate him confirmed I had the right person. There was a copy of a letter from my grandmother looking for him also. All in all, the copies of the record I received is very interesting and helpful. They were worth the money. Hope anyone else that requests records will find them helpful too. Dolly Clark
