How to use this page:  Documents listed below are separated in sections by file/case type (Citizenship, Civil War, Court Cases – Civil, Court Cases – Criminal, Divorces, Wills).  Within each section, the Name(s) column will be both an index and a cross-reference, to the documents in that section, so that you only need to scan the Name(s) column for names of interest.

 

When requesting copies of these documents from the Archives, you must include the File Name, Type, Date and Number of Pages information, shown below, from the file you are requesting, so that the Archives staff can quickly locate the file.  The Number of Pages information will determine the cost of obtaining a copy of the file. 

 

The fee schedule is $7.00 plus 25 cents per printed page, per file ordered.  Postage is included.  So, a file containing 4 pages would cost $8.00 ($7.00 plus 4 pages at 25 cents each), a file containing 14 pages would cost $10.50 ($7.00 plus 14 pages at 25 cents each), etc.
