Queries pending

 

Edgar Degas. Waiting. 1882.

At the end of December, I submitted three queries through the BIRLS database made available by Reclaim the Records. I had somewhat given up on a response to those three FOIA requests, but while I was in LA last week, I received letters from the Veterans Administration confirming receipt. The queries were filed for copies of the VA claim file for my grandfather, Leo Reid; Allison's grandfather James Havens; and the file on James C. Whitley. So, these are still in process. It may be several months before something is made available.

I'm also awaiting responses on research queries with the University of Edinburgh on John McIntosh and his possible attendance at the medical school in Scotland in 1775/76; and a query with the UCLA Archives on the Amado family of Los Angeles.

These queries are in addition to the research questions I'm following for DNA Study Group.
