More about Census Records

This week on Roots Television, learn more about what census records can do for you. In episode 106 of Ancestors series, Military and Census Records, Garry Bryant tells how his feelings about serving in the Vietnam War changed when he discovered his military roots, including ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War. This program features guest expert Curt Witcher.

Because of their broadness of scope, census records are an invaluable resource to virtually every genealogist. In Census Records, Ancestors episode 208, learn why census records are called "mini-biographies," where to find U.S. census records, how they are organized, and how to use the Soundex index. Also learn how Darius Gray used census records to find his family, and hear tips from professional genealogist Elizabeth Shown Mills.

Finally, Information Sources Defined highlights the three major sources of information - people, objects, and records - and what they have to offer.

To purchase copies of the Ancestors Series, visit the official Ancestors website.
