Has anyone else had a problem with a file being lost or misfiled? I ordered two back in August, my great great uncle and my great grandfather. The uncle's file arrived last fall and confirmed and explained a few mysteries in my tree. There were also letters in there from his sisters (including my great grandmother). A few weeks later I got a letter saying my great grandfather's file was misplaced and they would contact me if/when they found it. I still have not heard from them. I imagine this file would be much larger as my great grandfather had a lot of children (some of whom were farmed out to relatives), he was in a veteran's home, and his widow lived a long time after he died. His last name was Smith and I'm assuming that's why it's misfiled (just too many Smiths). Margie ************** The year's hottest artists on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards. Go to AOL Music.

This may not happen often. I ordered pension papers for one relative and a distant cousin ordered the same relative's poapers just a few days after me. We did not know that we had ordered the same pension papers a few days apart. So, the government told my cousin that they could not find the papers he wanted. But they never contacted him again, to say if the papers were found.
