POSTAL INFORMATION
I have an ancestor who was a letter carrier in Brooklyn for many years. I wrote to the National Personnel Center in St. Louis, MO for acopy of his personnel "file". It only consisted of an index card but showed when he was hired; each promotion he received; and his raises - National Personnel Records Center Civilian Personnel Records Facility 111 Winnebago Street St. Louis, Missouri 63118-4126 Only problem I foresee in your search is that I don't think the Fed. Govt. their record-keeping process until around 1860. However there are also several sources available through the National Archives for the employment records of the Postal Service. Records of Appointment of Postmasters, 1832-30 Sep 1971, 145 rolls; National Archives Number M-841. Also available is the "Blue Book" or Official Register of Officials and Agents which was a biennial list of all Federal employees and was published beginning in 1816. It lists such information as office, place of birth, place of appointment, place employed and financial compensation. I did not find a reference number to any set of film, so these records may be in printed form. A letter to the National Archives should answer that question. Thanks to : Mary A.
