Every now and then genealogists need to order documents from the National Archives. To make your order or to download necessary forms, just go to the Ready to Order? Have a Comment? page at the National Archives and Records Administration website and make your request.
The following forms can currently be downloaded in pdf format from the site. You can also make your order online on the same line (faster than using an actual form – and trackable):
- Ship Passenger Arrival Records (NATF Form 81)
- Federal Census Records (NATF Form 82)
- Eastern Cherokee Applications (NATF Form 83)
- Land Entry Files (NATF Form 84)
- Military Pension/Bounty Land Warrant Applications (NATF Form 85)
- Military Service Records (Form 86)
- Request Pertaining to Military Records (Form SF 180)
