I have discovered that you can currently get free online access to the digital records at The National Archives https://catalog.archives.gov/. In the past we would have to submit and pay for a research request and wait to see what could be found. So as you might expect, I spent some time searching around for anything related to our family history.
While I didn’t find any new information or revelations, I did find an interesting 1900 communique from the United States Consul in Valparaiso, Chile to the State Department regarding the fire aboard the ship Henry B Hyde that was the topic of my April 30, 2021 blog post, Dangerous Fire Aboard a Clipper Ship about Captain David A Scribner’s last sea voyage. I will share a few of the pages with you.
