Interesting thread. In reference to the records search at National Archives, it is also possible to hire a private researcher to do the work. Advantage, they cull the file and only send what is central to the soldier's career. Soldier's records often contain a lot of superfluous documentation or replication and sometimes even blank forms reside in the file. One file I requested had a dental record that had on small notation, not important to the soldier's story, on a form four or five pages long. The researcher can avoid these items and save some costs. They are also usually faster.
