HELLO List, I saw some enquiries about Army records on this list. My Experience, I knew my chappies name, + 1st foot Regiment, Scots Royals, and Rough dates, 1840/50. I went on the Internet to National Archives, England, Click on Military, and went through several pages, Put in my chappies name, and up came a brief resume' of his Hist. with a Ref Number, Applied for his papers, they wrote back with a quote for photo copying, was reasonable, and after what seem like for ever, (I'm an impatient researcher) actually about 10 days, -- paid for it with Credit Card. Up on the screen it all came, was absolutely chuffed. I think they would do research for you but of course it would cost. He actually joined in 1831 in Elgin Morayshire, and was retired in 1843 through a non-combatant accident. But the records were held in England. Finally he was a private not an officer, so didn't really expect to find him So that was my fantastic experience on Army Records. Pearl M.
