Hello all, I live in Washington, D.C. and as such have access to the National Archives. I'd be glad to do lookups and make copies of War of 1812 service records and pension records, for a reasonable fee (to cover my time and copy prices.) Going through the archives staff can take months -- it'll take me about two weeks, in general. I'm well-acquainted with research. I'm also a genealogist myself, not a profiteer (I have a day job!). I'm only offering because I love the topic and because I know how difficult it is to get ahold of these particular records, since they aren't microfilmed. If anybody's interested, send me an email at kwolfe@cq.com and I can give you some more information. Best, Kathy Wolfe (Researching William MARTIN, Surgeon, War of 1812 veteran of Andruss' detachment, NJ Militia.)
