Then choose military records, then choose 1812. It gives an email address. If you send a request to search for records for a soldier in 1812, they will let you know if they have records exists. If they do, then you can fill out the form to request them. I think that the form has to be mailed. Cyndy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
