by Kerry Bartels (2011)
Download PDF Broadcast Notes

This talk demonstrates how genealogists can use the National Archives website to determine what records are in the National Archives.

Also demonstrated are examples of records with great genealogical value that are little known and little used by genealogists. Sponsor: The National Archives at Riverside.
