Genealogy Series: From Here to There: Researching Office of Indian Affairs Employees (2021 June 1)

Genealogy Series, 4 of 6: From Here to There: Researching Office of Indian Affairs Employees with Cara Moore Lebonick and Cody White
Researching ancestors who worked for federal agencies is a popular topic at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). This presentation will tie together the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Official Personnel Files (OPF) held in St. Louis with agency records located in various NARA field sites. The session will open with what can be found in the OPFs and how to request them. Cara Moore Lebonick will conduct a deep dive into several OPF's of Native women employed by the BIA. Cody White will then explore how further information can be found in the regional records of the BIA. Together Cara and Cody will show how the holdings across the National Archives can provide a more complete genealogical story.
