This isn't a good week to try to contact them, though; the 1930 census opened this morning, and I expect they're swamped. However, you MIGHT be able to get on their website --- http://www.nara.gov and pick research room. Check the NAIL to see what's available. Then, goto http://www.familysearch.org and then to the Library and then to Catalog; check under locality, United States - and use your imagination (mine blanks out, sorry). Government, maybe? Too much to hope there's a Post Office entry, I guess. Hope this helps. Cheryl
