Thanks Juanita, They ask me to select "next of kin" etc. which I am not. I wanted records of my second cousin. Is there another form when we want the information for genealogy or are we supposed to lie? I appreciate the reply.

Maxine -- http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/ Select Launch the eVetRecs System to start your request Online. Then you will have a pop-up screen to follow the instructions. I did not go further, as I did not want to start the process. This is much different than when I ordered. They have changed their site a lot. You can also choose to Download form SF-180 to Mail or Fax your request. You might want to do that, anyway, just to see what info is needed for your request. There is a charge for the records and when I did it, I set a limit of how much I wanted to pay. My great-grandfather was in the Civil War and I received quite a few copies of records, but there was so much more. If I wanted the rest, it would have cost me $175 more than what I paid. Do not remember what I set the limit for. Good luck. Joy >> anyone ordered the Pension/military records from NARA online? >> .how/where do you send it online? . >> Maxine

Maxine -- You might want to read the links on the page I just sent you. There is a lot of information there about what is needed and WHO can order. Here is another page from that site - just for genealogy research. It might have more info. http://www.archives.gov/research/genealogy/ Joy > anyone ordered the Pension/military records from NARA online? > .how/where do you send it online? . > Maxine
