Military Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) for WWI/WWII/Korean War Veterans

$20.00

“The National Archives said my veteran’s military records were lost in the 1973 Fire” is a common refrain we’ve heard from clients year after year. It’s ok … many family history researchers seeking a military ancestor’s Army or Air Force service record were given that boilerplate response after a long wait. There is still hope!

NARA and the NPRC started a vast restoration project nearly a decade ago on documents recovered from the 1973 fire. Masses of burnt documents have been sitting in storage waiting for a time when technological advances and budget availability allowed for preservation work to begin. At the same time archivists are working to sort through existing documents, frequently finding misfiled paperwork. Records that were thought to be completely lost in the fire are turning up every day.

This is Twisted Twigs’ most affordable option to see if your veteran’s service record was restored by the National Archives Preservation Team. Let’s say your ancestor’s file is among the thousands of files still awaiting restoration. When Twisted Twigs requests to view the file, NARA conducts an internal search for a ‘B-File’, or burn file. If anything has been located the preservation department will ‘fast track’ it for on-site viewing and it will be presented along with any other documents on hand. New files are turning up all the time as preservation work continues.
