We'll be happy to help if you have specific questions. 

If you're asking about ordering records for your soldier, please do not use this form though.  Please use this link to get started.  That page has all of the links and explanations to help get started with ordering the records.  It also lists the types of records that we have access to.  If your question is related to any of that, going to that page will be quicker than waiting for a response from us!  

Please note:  We do not have access to Confederate pension records.  Those records are kept at the state archives instead of the National Archives.  Please use this link to help find those records.  As much as we would like to be able to help you get Confederate records, we are limited to what's at the National Archives, so we can't help with those.  Please do not submit requests for Confederate pensions. 

Finally, please be specific in your question.  Please include the name of your soldier and regiment, if possible. 

For example, instead of asking a vague question like "are there prisoner of war records" or "are there pension files for state militias?"  Instead, be specific if possible.  "My ancestor, John Smith of the 13th Wisconsin Infantry was captured in 1863 at Gettysburg."  In many cases, the only way to answer your question is to check the indexes, so without a name, regiment, or other specifics, it's difficult to answer the question.   Thanks!
