      * Requests which do not contain the word "form" in the subject line get routed differently and take more time to process.

    4. Indicate the number of the forms from the following list:
      • GIL #7 (brochure for Military Service Records)

      GFS Karen here in the Genealogy Forum ordered forms via E-mail on a Saturday and received them the following Tuesday.

      Each form contains detailed instructions for completion. You have a variety of payment options for the search and for the copying of records.

      What a great way to order these forms!
