GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show: WWI Women's Registration Card Collections with Amber Oldenburg

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!
