    Very helpful. I have seen them as clues but didn't know they had so much information. I will be taking a look at these files in the very near future.

    The fact that MyHeritage puts so many different records together I did not realize. Makes researching so much easier.

    Learned a lot about how to find items in the card collection. Looking forward to spending some time in the US SS Application and Claims files
