Hi Tom, I'm a professional researcher and I perform lookups at NARA for other researchers. I would be glad to lookup the pension record, but wouldn't be able to supply more than the general specifics, such as whether or not the pension contains a marriage record, death record, names of children, etc. There are researchers on this list who have utilized my services and it wouldn't be fair to them or my other clients to get into more specific information. But I would be able to supply what type of information you can expect to find in the pension record and the approximate number of pages, and then you can make the determination of whether or not it would be feasible for you to order the record from NARA. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
