2025 Wake County Genealogical Society Virtual Meetings - next - April 22

Join us!

Tuesday, April 22, 2025 @ 6:30pm – Virtual

Topic: Going Postal: Using Postal Records for Your Research

Speaker: Cynthia Gage, WCGS member and former webmaster

By 1831, 76% of US civilian employees worked for the Postal Service. There were more postal employees than soldiers. Maybe your ancestor was a postmaster, postal clerk, mail carrier, route agent or star contractor. What about a merchant or tavern keeper? This presentation will introduce you to online records for finding information about postal employees and will give ideas how to use postal-related “hints” to further your ancestor’s story, whether a postal employee or not.

 Join us!  Free and virtual!

*Please register by 4pm day of meeting.

*Please save your passcode and link for ease of entry at start time.

*Presentation starts promptly at 6:30 pm.
