Going Postal: Using Postal Records for Your Research
Tuesday, April 22
Going Postal: Using Postal Records for Your Research  (Monthly Meetings)
6:30 pm to 8:00 pm
ZOOM
 
Presenter: Cynthia Gage
 
By 1831, 76% of US civilian employees worked for the Postal Service. There were more postal employees than soldiers. Maybe your ancestor was a postmaster, postal clerk, mail carrier, route agent or star contractor. What about a merchant or tavern keeper? This presentation will introduce you to online records for finding information about postal employees and will give ideas how to use postal-related “hints” to further your ancestor’s story, whether a postal employee or not.
