re your question about how long it takes to get records from NARA I sent for my great-grandfather's Civil War records, it states on the application it will take 8-10 weeks which is almost exactly how long it took to get to me THE SECOND TIME I sent for them (the first time I never heard anything). But it was worth it!!! Also, thanks to Mary and Bob for answers to my question about Pilgrim's Rest. Will check with Good Hope first and go from there. Kathy Hintz
