I think I have sent to the NRA requesting the form to request Luther's service records. Only with our government do you have to request a form to request a form. I got an auto response thingy so I guess it worked though. I want to find out all I can about Luther. How can I find out if the Saratoga Republican and/or Saratogian (sp) for that time period are on film and where I can get them? Any help you all can give me I deeply appreciate, this is all new to me. All my ancestors were from places within easy driving distance from me and I just go to the town office and look for what I want. I live in the house built by my gggrandfather in 1870, that's why I find all this neat stuff--'cause they never threw ANYTHING away and they always lived here. Nobody had EVER cleaned out the attic till I started when we moved in with Dad. Now I'm trying to make a dent in the cellar. The reason--I have more stuff to move in, what else!!! We are a family of savers. Ruth At 7:33 AM -0800 3/14/04, Ruth Barton wrote: BTW: I have finally completed transcribing all 64 (actually 65, 2 #33s) >Civil War letters.
