Very trusting of them :) That is interesting Ray--- hmmm. Well I have the NATF Form 80 before me that I just obtained last week from Nat'l Archives and there is a place on there that they will return to you with a box where they check "Yes--We located the file you requested. We have made copies from the file for you. The cost for these copies is $10. Make your check or money order payable, etc....... Let me ask you this Ray. Did they send you a bill first and you then sent the money and they in return sent the copies? Because that is the way they work. In other words you knew before you got the 295 pages (that must have been neat) what the cost was. Correct? Anyway it has been a few years since I sent for my G-G-Grandfather's. But records. Unless you did the credit card option of course, then they charge your account and mail the copies. Was the info worth it to you? Just curious? I had a lot of interesting stuff in my G-Grandfather's pension file. The Military file wasn't as interesting. Thank you for your note Ray. Darleen Berens Raymond Barnett Howard
