Genealogy Open House at the National Archives in New York City

A wonderful opportunity for genealogists.

In celebration of Archives Month, the staff and volunteers at NARA in NYC are hosting an open house from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M on October 12, 2010. They will provide hands on assistance to help direct your family history research. Topics include: Getting Started Online, Federal Census Records, Federal Passenger Arrival Records, Naturalization Records and other genealogy resources outside of NARA. The day will conclude with a behind-the-scenes Archival Stack Tour, highlighting some of their treasures.

The workshop is free and open to the public, but space is limited. Register by October 8th to newyork.archives@nara.gov or call 866-840-1752.
