Dear Mr. LaCroix,
Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
The Federal Government does not ordinarily create or maintain birth, death, marriage or divorce records. Such records are made and kept by State and local governments rather than the National Archives. For a copy of various vital records for your father, we suggest that you contact the Virginia Department of Health’s Office of Vital Records.
For an overview on how to begin your research, we suggest that you review the FamilySearch Research wiki for United States Genealogy as well as NARA’s Resources for Genealogists. In addition, the document Suggestions and Advice for Family History Researchers may be useful.
We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
