NGS Video Productions at the National Archives

This just in from NARA, and it sounds very interesting!

NGS is proud to present two new features in the NGS Online Video Series


· Finding Your Ancestors at the National Archives


· NGS & NARA


In celebration of Columbus Day join us at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., as archivist Reginald Washington takes us into the stacks to see how our forebears’ Civil War pension files are stored. Wonder with John Humphrey, CG, over German language documents from a New York City Church in his ancestor’s file. Appreciate viewing the Declaration of Independence with John as he contemplates his ancestor’s public reading of that great document in Easton, Pennsylvania on 8 July 1776.
