X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Ask a handful of genealogists what the U.S
 . National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has for genealogical
  research. The most likely answers will be pension records and census. The
 se are such valuable resources in our family information quest\, but a lis
 ting of the more NARA and other agency holdings of value for our research 
 would easily fill up many pages. Beyond NARA\, the websites of some federa
 l agencies contain helpful research information. The one problem with thes
 e is that it may take some perseverance to find that info on the sites as 
 the genealogy and history related material is usually not prominent. This 
 lecture is designed to acquaint you with other federal records that may ho
 ld some of those elusive family details and to introduce you to newer NARA
  website features.</p>\n<p>Paula Stuart-Warren\, Certified Genealogist&reg
