The following is a summary of your inputs. I have not tested the accuracy of these bullets but feel that they can be used as a guide for dealing with the Archives for this type of information. So good luck! . There is a form to request info. Its number is: NATF-80. . You can write the National Archives to get these forms but the consensus is to call a regional archive office and request they send you a blank(s). . I found a list of the regional offices. I am not sure how accurate it is but here is the list that I was able to obtain: National Archives, Pennsylvania Ave. at Eighth Street NW Washington, D.C. 20408 (202)523-3130 Branch (Regional Branches) Atlanta - National Archives, Southeast Region, 1557 St. Joseph Ave., East Point, Ga. 30344 (404)763-7477. Boston - National Archives, New England Region, 380 Trapelo Road, Waltham, Ma. 02154 (617)647-8100. Chicago - National Arcives, Great Lakes Region, 7358 South Pulaski Road, Chicago, Il. 60629 (312)581-7816. Denver - National Archives, Rocky Mountain Region, Building 48, Denver Federal Center, P.O. Box 25307, Denver, Co. 80225 (303)236-0817. Forth Worth - National Archives, Southwest Region, 501 West Felix, P.O. Box 6216, Forth Worth, Tx. 76115 (817)334-5525. Kansas City - National Archives, Central Plains Region, 2312 East Bannister Road, Kansas City, Missouri 64131 (816)926-6272 Los Angeles - National Archives, Pacific Southwest Region, 24000 Avila Road, P.O. Box 6719, Laguna Niguel, Ca. 92677 (714)643-4241 New York - National Archives, Northeast Region, Building 22-MOT Bayonne, Bayonne, NJ. 07002 (201)823-7252 Philadelphia - National Archives, Mid-Atlantic Region, 9th and Market Streets, Philadelphia, Pa. 19107 (215)597-3000 San Francisco - National Archives, Pacific Sierra Region, 1000 Commodore Drive, San Bruno, Ca. 04066 (415)876-9009 Seattle - National Archives, Pacific Northwest Region, 6125 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, Washington 98115 (206)526-6500. . Wait time for a response to a NATF-80 submission appears to vary from a minimum of 2 months to some unknown delta. . You can submit multiple requests at the same time but only one per NATF-80. . You may be able to get the NATF-80 forms from FHC's and at your local library (genealogical section). . Soldiers are listed alpha under their state & reg. . Records you can expect to find: muster rolls, payroll records, lists of officers & other military records. . Requests of this type are worked by volunteers so when you make a submission be patient. . If records are found there is a $10.00 copy charge. No charge if nothing is found. . On your submission be specific as possible. Include as much information as possible (dates of service, military unit served, etc). . For the Revolutionary War there are three types of records avail- able: Service Records - Covers dates of service, locations and presence or absence, roll calls, enlistment papers, etc. Pension Records - Covers pensions granted after the war. Bounty Land Records - Land that was offered in lieu of pensions. Again, thanks to all that provided me with their inputs. I'm off in search of a NATF-80. ****************************************************************** * Frederick "Fred" J.
