4:26 portable flatbed scanner. I have one of those! 😃 got it about 20yrs ago. So grateful I did... it's lasted longer than any other computer electronic I have. 😂😂 It comes in handy when my printers are broken! This is a great interview! Good information. Thanks Aimee! 💚
@AncestryAimee I have an Epson Perfection V19. Their interface can be a little confusing, and I don't usually use it... but it will scan and the image will show up in my photo folder. That's all I need!
If I hadn't had some of these good recommendations, I would be very intimidated. Just the sheer size of the place and what's available still intimidates me! So glad that Brian is willing to do that work for us! Thanks Aimee!
Question concerning Civil War records. I have 2 relatives (brothers) who served in Federal Infantry Troops just before and during the Civil War. Which archive location would these be housed at? They were station in Texas when the state seceeded from the Union. The entire fort was surrendered to the Confederate state where they were POW's for 22 months. Every day, they were approached by the Confederate leader asking if they were willing to fight for the Confederate side. Over 300 troops were held there, staked by chains to the ground. Not one of them switched sides to the confederate troops.
Do you need to make an appointment at that one? We do for the one in Seattle now. And they can no longer help with any Native American document certification. That all has to be done online or over the phone and then they get mailed to you. It wasn’t that way before Covid. My dad and I were actually at the one in Seattle when Covid shutdown started, getting fresh copies of our Dawes Roll family information printed and certified. It’s very discouraging.
@@robertshade8631 the 1890 census was almost completely destroyed. So that is not helpful for any of us, particularly you - you'll need to use other records to track your family during that gap between 1880 and 1900

They say you should make an appt and I did and no one cared or checked. But I agree. Things have definitely changed since Covid.
@ Wow. Thank you. That’s good to know.
Which archives is best for getting past the destroyed 1890 census for finding people of color from 1880 -1900 census gap?
What record group are you interested for that?
@ slave records,plantation records,land records
@@robertshade8631 many land records are in D.C. Other records you would need to check - you can look at their catalog online. Good luck!
@@AncestryAimee most of my ancestors were around southwest Georgia and Tennessee and Alabama and disappeared around the 1890 census.
