My popular course Researching U.S. Government Records 101 is being offered right now with a special discount available only through September 15th, 2020. Use the code PAULA30 at checkout.
I compiled this four-session course to introduce students to the vast number of records held by the United States government. Federal records are found with the U. S. National Archives (NARA) (in many locations), Library of Congress, Federal Depository Libraries, Family History Library/FamilySearch, state historical societies, university libraries, state archives, and via many of today’s genealogy subscription websites. Others remain with the designated federal agency. Many are one-of-a-kind documents. The details found in the records are astounding and help to compile a better picture of our ancestors and their families. From birth, marriage, and death details all the way to how great grandpa’s leg was injured or what happened to the family business can be found. The federal census and military pension records you may know about are only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. It focuses on NARA and you may be surprised at all that you can find online and learn more about what can be done on future visits to NARA locations.
Once you have completed the course and a few assignments, you may return to the recorded lessons at any time to refresh what you learned! The course is accompanied by a six-page handout filled with details and an extensive list of books and websites. All registrants will be invited to a private Facebook page for learning more, asking questions, and sharing discoveries is shared at the end. Some past students and their comments remain on the page so you get additional insights.
Use code PAULA30 for the $30 discount. Valid through 15 September 2020 with Liza Alzo’s company Research Write Connect Academy.
