On 15 August 98, Dave Clark <[email protected]> posted a query on GenForum, requesting information about the Strong ladies who married sons of Lt. William Clark(e). Some of you may wish to correspond with him, either directly, or indirectly by posting a reply message on GenForum. http://www.genforum.com/strong/ If you have never visited GenForum, you might want to post a query there about your Strong connection. You will reach a few Strong researchers who are not currently subscribed to the Strong Mail List. ======================================================= Here is the WWW address for the Genealogy Page at the National Archives and Records Administration. The page contains a general description of the holdings of the National Archives of interest to genealogists and links to more information about the Regional Branches. I did not find on the Military Records page the Form number for ordering records or how to request these forms. A section on Immigration Records (Ship Passenger Lists) is marked "New". I was surprised to learn that selected microfilm was available for rental; all microfilm is available for purchase. http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/genindex.html Don't forget to check the holdings in the Genealogy Collection at your nearest metropolitan public library and nearby universities. Some libraries have purchased many of the Military Records on microfilm, as well as the census records on microlim. "Bob T." Robert T. Strong, Jr. 119 Mystic Way Madison, Al 35757-8801
