Helping you climb your family tree,
You know the dance. You know you've done it. The one every researcher does after finding something new. The one where you want to jump up and down and shout to everyone that you found the document, contacted a cousin with the family Bible, made a DNA connection, or found a new branch to your tree. The one that is met with glazed stares and eye rolls.

The panel—Melissa Barker, Jenny Hawran, Laura Hedgecock, Shelley Murphy, and I—welcomes Amber Oldenburg to share a record group none of us had ever heard of!
Watch as we learn about the National Women's Committee Registration Cards, their value in our research of the women in our family, and where to look for them.
Have you used these records?
We'd love to hear from you.
If you discover cards, please share where you found them with Amber!
