Great education source

The videos are short and to the point. You can save them to your playlist for future reference.

This is such a wonderful app !

I’m an adoptee and a senior citizen. It is so great to be able to search for family now as well as ancestors. Just the use of the census records at our fingertips is phenomenal. I highly encourage anyone to take a dive into their own histories!
