Webinar: Bank Records in Family History
Historical bank records are an overlooked resource for family history .. Had you ever thought of consulting them?
These records can provide a lot of information: an ancestor’s residence, occupation, family relationships, and even immigrant origins. And you didn’t have to be rich to have had a bank account!
