    I think I speak for all genealogists that we wish they had the 1890 U.S. Census. They were destroyed in a fire. This is the genealogist library! Very important place!

    Women may still miss out on benefits today. I worked twenty years in our family business but did not take a pay check in my own name. Only my husband got credit for paying into social security, so today, my social security check is half what it should be.

    The National Archives is every bit as important to this nation as the President, Senate and Supreme Court. It explains to all future generations why America is what it is.

      Maybe you are asking the wrong entity. Check the National Archives website for what kind of documents they have and until what date. Often, national archives wait decades before receiving certain documents, and they don't archive everything.
      First, you should go to a public library and tell your problem to a librarian - if where you live there are state archives, ask an archivist. Or, ask the Navy. But, I think, people in the local entities could be a better way to find what you need.
      Good luck. ✌

      If you care to read books or articles about warfare in 19th century (and before) it was common that armies were followed by women. Wives, lovers - some ladies of the night, or just women who tried to help and serve their cause the best they could. They cooked, they tended to the wounded. Also, they were in the battlefield, giving water to the soldiers. That's why the French (and the Americans, I just found out) called them vivandières, and in Chile they were called cantineras (Chilean here; these ones were uniformed, and some of them fought in battle, like Sgt. Candelaria Pérez).
      Check the 2021 movie Vivandière, set in the Civil War, and the book Swords Around a Throne by John R. Elting, about Napoleon's Army. ✌

    The 60 minutes lady, sorry have zero idea of her name. I thought the spin this evening on how she described Trumps possession of docs to Bidens ridiculous. Either she is incapable of bias or follows instructions to well to be considered a journalist.
