Finding Your Roots in Washington: National Archives

The Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights...all are housed at the National Archives in Washington, DC. But the facility offers much more than documents about the country's origins. It also houses millions and millions of federal documents about families and individuals via census, military and immigration records.
