Service records would probably be at the National Archives, not the NJ State Archives. I have had better luck with pension records. Service records that I have requested have really only been more like attendance records, where pension records may have to give the person's whole history - birth, marriage, service "stories" Ancient One <[email protected]> wrote: Hi, I would like to order the Civil War service records for an ancestor from the NJ state archives. Does anyone have experience ordering records from the archieves? How long does it usually take to get the records from them? Has anyone ordered services records from the state? Was there much information contained in the file? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
