About this webinar
Each U.S. state has a state archives to preserve government records from counties and state agencies. Did you know that some states have branches of the state archives? These are facilities found around the same state. Have you been missing some records that may fill in blank spots on the family tree? The reasons for their existence, ways of operating, collection finding aids, types of collections, and staff are varied. Learn more about these, access, staffing, and the often-surprising material and indexes they hold. The real life examples will convince you of what you may have missed!

Great presentation thank you
Paula is amazing, her knowledge is so vast.
I have done business with IRADs before, and it can be a little confusing, but this class cleared up some things for me.
I have not used archives very much, but now with all these resources from Paula I am ready to dig in!
This was an excellent webinar! I appreciated the practical tips for researching in various state archives and the research gems that can possibly be found there.
Thank you, Legacy Family Tree Webinars for inviting Paula. I always enjoy her informative presentations. I especially loved all the Arkansas resources she shared.
It was very interesting. I'll just need to look into states where my ancestors are from.
Great webinar! Love the extra places to search for records for family members! You can really find some gold nuggets in the state archives! Thanks!
