NARA Civil War pension turnaround?
I recently ordered my first complete Civil War pension
packet online from NARA. They're quoting, IIRC, 41-120 days
turnaround time - does anyone have recent experience with
this? Google wasn't all that helpful. Thank you.

It has been a few years since I did it but if I am not mistaken the majority
of the time(4-5 months) was spent compiling and making xerox copies of the
material. They then sent me information in the mail to verify I want it and
I had to return that to them. After I sent that verification back to them I
received the packet in under two weeks. So yes, it took almost six months
total.

I've only ordered one pension file, and it took about 40 days.

Thanks, Roland, Tara, and James A. Doemer, for your
statistics. There are two reports of approximately 40 days
and one of approximately 180 days. That's encouraging.

I received over 300 pages for a soldier and it took six weeks to get it.
Recently, in only four weeks, I received about twelve pages. So, I am happy
with their speed of service.
