Message Board Post:
I'm interested in how old envelopes and postcards can be a source for genealogical
research. There are more than 1,400 envelopes and postcards on the philatelic genealogy
database (
Philgen.org, at http:\\philgen.org). You'll also find several articles on
philatelic genealogy that you can click on in the Main Menu (beginning with American
Ancestors). Envelopes and postcards (such as the Waltzer postcard) can help fill gaps in
World War I records due to the 1973 fire at the National Personnel Records Center. Now
that the Waltzer story has been put together, I will post the postcard on
Philgen.org.
Thanks again for your help.
