3 Role of the National Archives We are responsible for the preservation and access to permanent records created by the Federal Government.

4 Major Misconceptions Availability of name index for individuals or employees: one stop shopping Everything is digitally available online, in one location

5 Why aren't all NARA's Archived Records Online? Laid end to end, the sheets of paper in our holdings would circle the Earth over 57 times! Creating scans for our web site, and preserving all of those copies, simply exceeds our resources at this time.

6 1 Start with yourself, parents, and grandparents

7 Name Date Location Age

8 2 Ask your relatives about your family history

9 3 Look in family records (letters, family Bibles, scrapbooks, diaries, photographs, baptismal certificates, newspaper clippings, etc)

10 4 Create a pedigree chart Parent Child Child Grandchild Grandchild Grandchild

11 Remember The National Archives maintains only the permanent records of the Federal Government. NARA generally does not hold birth, marriage, divorce or death records. Check with the appropriate state or county.

12 Remember Since records are arranged as the agencies created them, There is usually no master index. While several have been digitized, there are still many that have not.

13 How do I find out what has been digitzed? The National Archives maintains a list on their website of what records have been digitized by our partners. It is igitization/digitized-bypartners.html

14 Principal Records of Genealogical Interest Census Records Passenger Arrival Records (Immigration) Naturalization Records Military Records

15 Principal Records of Genealogical Interest

16 Principal Records of Genealogical Interest Beginning in 1790 the government began to conduct a Federal census every 10 years. The purpose of the Federal census is to count the population of the United States for apportioning representatives to the House of Representatives.

17 Principal Records of Genealogical Interest Access There is a 72-year restriction on access to population census information. Currently, the National Archives has open Federal census records from 1790 to 1940.

18 Principal Records of Genealogical Interest Arrangement The Federal Census is arranged by state, county, township, or city The Federal Census is arranged by enumeration district.

19 Principal Records of Genealogical Interest 1940 Enumeration District Map of the town of Waterbury, located in New Haven County, Connecticut.

20 Principal Records of Genealogical Interest Records keeping practices vary over time. For example: The 1790 Federal census lists only the head of household. By 1880 the Federal census lists everyone in the household and their relationship to the head of the household.

21 Lists head of household only Example: Paul Revere, 1810 Census in Suffolk County, Massachusetts

22 Records everyone in the household, but not the relationship to the head of the household Example: Abraham Lincoln is enumerated on page 140 of the Sangamon County, Illinois, 1860 Census Schedule

23 Records everyone in the household and the relationship to the head of the household. Enumeration districts are noted. Example: Laura Ingalls Wilder is enumerated on page 2A of the Wright County, Missouri, (Enumeration District 152) 1900 Census Schedule

24 1890 Nearly all of the 1890 census was destroyed as a result of a Department of Commerce fire in Only 6160 names still exist of the 1890 census, out of approximately 63 million surveyed

25 Principal Records of Genealogical Interest Place of residence Approximate Date of Birth Name and Gender of Household Members Marital Status Number of Children Place of Birth Occupation Income Language and Literacy

26 Principal Records of Genealogical Interest

27 Types U.S. Customs Service arrival lists, Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) arrival lists,

28 INS Manifest 1907

29 INS Manifest 1953

30 Passports The first passport like document was issued in 1775 during the War of Independence. A single page No photograph Based on the French Passport Not an enforced requirement in the U.S. until 1952

31 Principal Records of Genealogical Interest

32 Principal Records of Genealogical Interest Naturalization was a two-step process, generally requiring a five-year minimum residency in the United States. Step 1 Step 2 Declaration of Intention (First Papers) Petition for Naturalization (Granted Citizenship) The only copy of the certificate of naturalization was sent to the applicant.

33 Principal Records of Genealogical Interest Declaration of Intention for Albert Einstein, June 4, 1943

34 Principal Records of Genealogical Interest State Contact the State archives for the state where the naturalizations occurred to request a search of state, county, and local court records. Local Contact the appropriate State archives or the county.

35 Principal Records of Genealogical Interest Federal Contact the NARA Regional Offices that serves the state where naturalizations occurred to request a search of Federal court records. Many of these are now available on Ancestry.com.

36 Principal Records of Genealogical Interest Military Records

37 Military Records NARA holds Federal records of military service in two repositories: Repositories A. National Archives Building, Washington, DC (Revolutionary War 1917) B. The National Archives at St. Louis and the National Personnel Records Center, St. Louis, MO (Late 19th century Present)

38 To locate military records, you need to know as much information as possible about the soldier s service including: Dates of service Branch of service Conflict fought in Volunteer unit Military Records Regular Army (Officer or enlisted personnel)

39 Military Records Types of Military Records DD214 Draft Registration Cards Selective Service Registration Cards Muster Rolls

40 Did your relative work for the Federal government? The National Archives at St. Louis may have a personnel file on that person.

42 Records of Groups Interacting with the Government

43 Records of Groups Interacting with the Government The National Archives holds information about Native Americans who maintained their ties to Federally recognized tribes ( ). Most records are arranged by tribe. It is very difficult to determine a person s tribal affiliation if you do not already know the tribe s name.

44 Records of Groups Interacting with the Government Dawes Roll A commission appointed my President Grover Cleveland in The purpose was to negotiate land with 5 tribes; Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Seminole. The Dawes Commission was named after it s chairman Henry L. Dawes.

45 Records of Groups Interacting with the Government Dawes Roll The Commission began accepting applications in 1896, these applications were overturned. Enrollment took place between 1898 and Under a 1914 act an additional 312 individuals were enrolled.

46 Records of Groups Interacting with the Government Consider Name of the Federally recognized tribe Name of person When they were alive State where they lived
