Hi, again.
NARA is HEADQUARTER in Washington DC and some states do have. Usually, they
carry census, immigration, military,land, naturalization, passport and more.
They do not carry much on birth, death,marriage, divorce, etc. It is more
like related to Vital Office.
Archives is more like Societies. I can give you some ideas on your e mail
alone.
If you see NARA, please ignore that one for a while. You can request on
that office for different request later.
I will be with you at any moment.
