If you use Ancestry .com, this is something you may enjoy doing. Follow the page for more wonderful ideas. Genealogy is more than just creating a family tree with names and dates. The stories tell us Who our ancestors really were.

Also, follow The Formidable Genealogist for more postings about the upcoming NARA closures. She explains it way better than I can. WE all need to take a stand, so these records will remain available to the public/we the people of the United States of America🇺🇸

NAGARA has joined a statement with the Society of American Archivists (SAA) and the Council of State Archivists (CoSA) addressing NARA's planned closures of facilities in Chicago, San Francisco/San Bruno, and Seattle. The statement, approved by NAGARA's Board of Directors on July 20, 2026, calls on NARA to communicate a clear plan for ongoing public access to the affected archives, secure full funding for the Seattle facility's reconstruction, and advocate for the resources needed to sustain the nation's federal records infrastructure.
