If you want to get an address for the soldiers records call the National Archives in Fort Worth, Texas and they will give you the St. Louis address where the records are kept. The # is 817-334 5525. They will be glad to help. I do volunteer work there. Barbara

NATIONAL PERSONNEL RECORDS CENTER MILITARY PERSONNEL RECORDS 9700 PAGE BLVD SAINT LOUIS MO 63132 All requests have t be in writing. No phone or e-mail requests and they have a back log of requests so usually takes a while but if you have the veterans full name and service number they can usually find needed records. there is a portion of the records available under the freedom of information act but to get the complete records the request has to be made by the veteran or next of kin. We are searching for all former members of the 588th Maintenance Company forr a reunion and have asked for and recieved some unit rosters and the releasable portions of a couple of military records. The people at NPRC have been most helpful though due to their work load and shortage of staff requests take some time William Smith Heavener ok BanC36@aol.com wrote: >If you want to get an address for the soldiers records call the National >Archives in Fort Worth, Texas and they will give you the St. Louis address >where the records are kept. >The # is 817-334 5525.

Barbara, Where do you live? I suspect somewhere close since you are volunteering down at the archives. My aunt goes down some and researches. I need to get there myself and do some digging. I here it is quite large and you can get lost in it.

I want to thank all of you for your kindness in trying to help me. Barbara, I only wish the records were there. You see, when they "protested" and burned records in MO, this was a part of the records that were lost. It wasn't just the 1890 census. I just found out his records were among the ones lost. I found a WWII survivors and family mailing list and told his son about it. I hope they can help him. I gave it my best, and won't quit for a while yet! Just wanted to say thank you to everyone.
