Last weekend the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of our 40th President, Ronald Reagan began. You can find a variety of original documents about him through Ancestry.com Library Edition.
A search for Ronald Reagan in Ancestry.com Library Edition pulled up both the 1920 and 1930 census where he is listed with his parents and brother in Illinois. The Stars and Stripes articles aren't considered primary sources but they do pinpoint his marriage to Nancy Davis in 1952.
The TV show Who do you think you are illustrates the excitement one feels when a bit of family history is discovered. You can use Ancestry.com Library Edition on campus to flesh out your family story or add pizazz to your research paper on a person or time period!
