Railroad Records and Railroad History: Methods for Tracking

Presented by Paula Stuart-Warren, CG, FMGS, FUGA, sponsored by the Irish Genealogical Society International.

Description:
Did great-grandpa traverse North America as he worked for the railroad? For which railroad did he work? Where did it run? Are there railroad records which may give us personal details?
