FOIA request question

Legg inn av russ » 11 nov 2004 20:56:32

Has anyone sent a FOIA request to the FBI regarding files on persons
compiled during the Hoover tenure? I have reason to believe that the FBI
kept a watchful eye on a relative back in the late 1930's. Does anyone
know how to send a FOIA request to the FBI for this persons file?

Thanks in advance.

I have done numerous FOIA's but not related to genealogy. It was due to
my dad was MIA for many years. This is what I have learned. Hopefully
you won't need all the advice but.....You will want to fill out a FOIA
on every person you want information. Be specific on the info you want.
List everything you can think of and then some.
The FBI is one to hide behind "national security issues". make sure to
keep copies of all the forms you send and keep on them.
Good luck
Chris
