You may think you have no need of the VA records in question, but most of our families connect back to VA in numerous ways and the "brick walls" we all have may come down with a bit of info from that very set of documents that they are thinking of destroying. I would love to have as good a source of info in Mississippi, does anyone know of one. Or in Georgia also.
