National Archives (NARA) Puts More Popular Records Workshops Online

The National Archives has launched new online videos of its most popular genealogy “how to” workshops. These videos cover “hot topics” in genealogical research such as Civil War records, online resources and databases, and more. These workshops led by National Archives experts are available on the National Archives YouTube channel 

 

 
The National Archives produced Know Your Records video shorts cover the creation, scope, content, and use of National Archives records for genealogical research. For the first time, researchers and staff voted for their favorite topics—and the National Archives listened.

 

Some recent additions include:

    Access to Archival Databases (AAD) for Genealogists 
    Documenting Death in the Civil War
    Let No Man Put Asunder: Freedmen’s Bureau Marriage Records 
    Army Service in the Civil War: An Overview 
    Exodus to Kansas: The 1880 Senate Investigation of the Beginnings of the African American Migration from the South 
    National Archives Records on Ancestry.com


Another great resource for learning and researching our family history.
