| In more recent times, '''larger companies '''have sometimes preserved records about their employees. These usually contain the hiring and termination details and may include biographical data about the employees and possibly their families. If the company where an ancestor worked is still in business, you may be given limited access to their historical employee records. Few employee records have been made public, so contact the individual companies regarding their records. | | In more recent times, '''larger companies '''have sometimes preserved records about their employees.
