WHO ’S THAT GIRL?
Learn how supervisory archivist Rebecca Crawford used Census records to unravel a family mystery in this National Archives News Standout Census story: Who Are You? Using the Census to Add Context to Family Photos.
Unfortunately, I still don’t know the name of the young girl standing in front of the house, and I may never know her name, but I can firmly say that a lot of information that could have been lost for generations has been reestablished and can now be shared with living family members and passed down to future generations.
