"Locating your ancestral records in the National Archives"

Description: Numerous interactions between your ancestors and the federal government generated records that have been preserved by the National Archives.

This presentation provides information on the preservation of these records by the federal government. We will explore the types of information in these records along with how you can locate and access them.
