Dear Cousin Heathcliff,
I heard that the National Archives has a website where one can view documents
such as the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. How do I find that website?
Lost Online
Dear Lost Online,
The National Archives does have a website where various
American documents have been digitised. The website is called "The National Archives Experience - Digital Vaults".
It is an excellent website. Here is the link to that website.
Dear Cousin Heathcliff,
I suspect one of my ancestors went to California for the gold rush. When did the California gold rush begin and when did California
become a state?
Cali
Dear Cali,
The California Gold Rush actually started before California was a state.
Gold was first found at Sutter's Mill, Coloma, California in 1848 and California became a state in 1850.
