I provide on site research and record retrieval at the National Archives in Washington DC, focusing primarily on 19th century military records (Civil War, War of 1812, Mexican War, Indian Wars, Spanish American War) and federal land records (bounty land, homestead land, etc).  I am open to other projects aside from these, as long as the records can be accessed at the National Archives in Washington DC.
