The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is the repository of the historically valuable, noncurrent records of the Federal Government. Unfortunately, due to critical limitations in personnel, NARA is not staffed to provide general research or genealogical services to the public. We also do not have prepared family histories in our holdings. The duties of our reference staff are limited to providing information about our records, making onsite textual records available to researchers in our research rooms, and providing copies of specifically cited records for a fee. We can only direct you to relevant records that may help you in completing your own research. Many of these records have been digitized and made available online. If you are interested in enlisting or hiring an independent researcher to assist you with this, you may wish to review the list of private researchers on our website at: http://www.archives.gov/research/hire-help/
