I located the web site of Woodmen of the World http://www.woodmen.com/ thanks to Elaine Maddox. I e-mailed them, and they sent back the following message (which I pass on in case anyone else is interested in this company and its records): >In-Reply-To: The letter of Monday, 22 June 1998 7:49am CT > >Thank you for your e-mail.

Sigh - I'm beginning to think my g-grandmother, Annie Celestia TURPIN is going to remain totally unknown - no parents, no siblings, no documentation, just one uninformative obituary . . . I have a couple of final hopes, and am going to hire someone if I can find one in that town (Mer Rouge LA). Francesca Sutton

Their fee is very small and I recommend that you consider using their request forms if you are concerned about project costs. You may request: 1. Veterans Records, use NATF Form 80 Certain military records, pension files and bounty-land applications can be requested with this form. One file for one person will cost about $10.00. You must provide them with as much information as possible. The minimum is: name, branch of service, state from which he served, war, whether union or confederate. Additional information: such as unit in which he served and place and date of birth, certainly would insure a favorable result. If your soldier was named Jones or Smith you should have very detailed information before requesting the file. They, in general, will not do research for you. Often they will not photo copy the entirety of a large file unless you make a specific request. 2. Passenger Arrival Records use NATF Form 81 One record will cost $10.00. They will search existing passenger indexes and then provide you with a copy of the ships list. The availability of indexes is quite complex and I will not attempt to characterize their abilities. The NATF Form 81 explains in detail what they will do and what information you need to provide. 3. Census Records, use NATF Form 82 One household will cost about $6.00. They will provide you with copies of specifically identified pages of Federal population census schedules. You must provide them with the following information. census year state or territory county township or other subdivision name of head of household page number enumeration district (for 1880, 1900,1910 and 1920 only) Form 82 states, "The National Archives does not search census indexes, nor do we provide census research service by mail." ************* please note that the National Archives has finding aids online for Census Records, Veterans Records and Passenger Arrival Records.

Well, you're right on both counts. Woodmen Circle was the women's auxiliary to Woodmen of the World, however, it did accept male members in areas where Woodmen of the World did not operate. On January 1, 1965, the Woodmen Circle and Woodmen of the World merged under the Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society name. Woodmen of the World and Woodmen Circle are fraternal benefit life insurance societies. They both (and Woodmen still does) provide life insurance protection with fraternal benefits for all members. You become a member by purchasing a life insurance or annuity product. During the early part of the century both Woodmen and the Woodmen Circle offered a "monument benefit" as a rider to all their life insurance products. Under the benefit, at death additional funds would be provided to purchase a grave stone. These stones were carved by local stone cutters and appear in a variety of shapes and sizes. They all, however, have the Woodmen or Woodmen Circle logos on them somewhere. This would explain why your Uncle had the Woodmen Circle grave marker. Rita

There has been discussion lately on DD214s so I thought I would take this opportunity to pass along some information. My comments will be based on Army records but all services had the same type of form, just different numbers. With the exception of one duty assignment, the bulk of my military career was as a Military Personnel Records Specialist plus I also worked at the Records Center for almost two years. When/if you receive copies of a military personnel record, also known as a 201 File or Military Personnel Records Jacket (MPRJ), there are two documents you should look for in that file. One document is completed at the time the soldier entered the service. It will list his/her name, date and place of birth and address where he was living at the time of his/her entry into the Army. Unfortunately, my MPRJ is in the safe deposit box so I cannot remember the form number but believ it may be something along the line of a DA 368 or DD 369. Don't quote me on that<g>. If the member was also married, the form will list their spouse and children if any with dates and places of birth and present address. It will also list brothers and sisters of the soldier. However, (this form number I remember) there is another form known as DA 41 Record of Emergency Data and Notification. In the event something would happen to the member, this form is used to determine who to notify first and beneficiaries of insurance and unpaid pay and allowances. Make sure you look for this form as it was supposed to be reviewed and updated if needed, each year during the month of birth of the soldier. Example, the first form I mentioned when I entered never did change throughout my 8 year career (I enlisted in 1968). However, in 1973, the DA 41 had to be changed as I got married that year. However, in 1974 it had to be changed again as my daughter Jennifer was born. So you can see the importance of checking for this form also. The other branches had these forms also but in a different style and number but they all served the same purpose. From a genealogy point of view these are the two most important documents you will want to check. A lot of the other documents will not mean that much really as it mostly will just contain the soldier's military history. In reality, if you are looking for ancestors, the DD 214 would not be worth anything. That form basically will show when entered, when separated/discharged, foreign service tours, awards, AWOL time if any, etc. Basically as Jim said it is a summary of the person's career. There is no genealogical important information on it with the exception of the Home of Record (place they called home at time of entry onto active duty). Service Numbers, for us "old timers" who had one before the advent of SSAN in mid-1968 the Army had basically 4 types of service numbers. Each started with a two letter prefix - RA, US, ER and NG. RA meant Regular Army, in other words, the member voluntarily enlisted onto active duty. US meant Army of the United States - this meant the member was drafted. ER - meant Enlisted Reserves - the member was a reservist NA - meant National Guard - member of course was assigned to a National Guard unit. Now for the trivia, why the difference in the prefix. Good question. Under Title 10 (if I remember the number right) law, a member who ENLISTED in the Army could reenter after the age of 35. If he/she enlisted initially for three years he/she could reenlist at the age of 38. In other words, for every year they enlisted, that number could be added on to the age of 35. Of course, they would still have to qualify to get back in. If the member was US, ER, NG, then they could not enlist in the Army after the age of 35. You notice I did not say reenlist here and that is because they never enlisted in the RA. By the way, all us old timers still remember our service numbers. RA16998429 Right folks!! However, in all fairness to our fellow ERs out there, at the beginning of Vietnam, entire reserve units were called up en masse onto active duty and were sent to Vietnam. They were some of the first companies to go. For those that made it back, Welcome Back Brothers and Sisters! Good job. Sorry for being long winded but hope this helps you out.

You would send your request to National Personnel Records Center, 9700 Page Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63132. Try and provide as much information on the Form 180 that you can. If your grandfather's and father's records were not destroyed in the fire, you should be able to get a copy of the DD214.

I wrote in a long time ago wanting information on how to request information from the National Archives. I have lost all of my bookmarks and all saved email, which is where the information was. If someone could tell me what forms I need to get again and where I write to send for them I would truely appreciate it. I know they were free, and I could email my request in, so please, any and all info is needed and helpful. Please respond to me privately so as I don't miss the information.

Jim, you are correct in that the DD 214 is simply called a Report of Separation from Active Duty. The actual "discharge" would be a DA 256 if you were Army. However, most veterans simply call it their DD 214 as "discharge papers". Most of the WWII vets I know do not remember the form number but they know what form they are talking about and simply just call it "discharge". I would suspect this is because the actual certificate itself that reads Honorable Discharge and is suitable for framing isn't worth a hill of beans when it comes to obtaining VA benefits. Another thing to remember, is that this certificate is usually not issued when an individual leaves the service unless his/her military "obligation" has been completed, ie served for more than 6 years (Nam era, now 8 years) or retired. In my case I received BOTH the "Honorable Discharge" (DA 256) and the DD 214 as I had completed more than 8 years of service. At the time military obligation was only 6 years.
