I know the name of someone who can go to NARA and look for the application card file entry, and send you an application paper to fill out and you are on your way. Her name is Barb Seyler, and her email addy: [email protected] She is quite reasonable, only charges $7.50/hour and is fast. She has helped me out a lot.
