Do you research school records? I'm not talking about yearbooks. Those can be found on the Yearbooks Page. I'm talking about actual school records, such as enrollment, attendance, and grade reports for example. These are interesting source documents because they might record the students age, birth date and location, and possibly their parents names. All great ways to find this information if you haven't found them in other documents about your target ancestor. Besides, finding out your grandmother's grades would be interesting!

The record collection links, listed below, feature school records from the state, and list collections of records that are available for free online. 

If you wish to get educated with some basic information regarding what is available and how to navigate your research for school records, you can read these summaries:

​
  • School Census
  • School Catalogs
  • Teacher's Registers
  • Attendance Records
  • Report Cards

  • ​​Local Newspaper Articles:
