Chula Vista Genealogical Society is please to announce a partnership with San Diego Genealogical Society’s California Pioneer Certificate Program.
The California Pioneer Programs Workshop will be held on the fourth Tuesday of most months at 7 pm PST via ZOOM.
*** To register for the workshop go to https://casdgs.org/calendar and click on the California Pioneer Programs Workshop calendar entry. This will land you on the registration page. ***
The purpose of the workshop is to assist any individual researching their early California ancestors. It is not necessary to be an applicant to the California Pioneer Certificate Program or any other lineage program.
The workshop welcomes all researchers. There is no fee for attending. The primary focus of the workshop is to assist attendees with their specific genealogical questions. After a discussion of the questions and any problems, the attendee will be assigned to one of the qualified researchers in attendance. If appropriate, the attendee and researcher will return to future meetings to report on the progress being made. Crowd sourcing will be used to elicit additional ideas and advice.
An additional purpose of the workshop is to provide education on early California history and its records. Knowledge of the history of an area and the time frame provides important clues to the types of genealogical records available.
We will examine these records and the repositories which hold them, including online resources. We will cover archives in California, Mexico and the US at the state, county, local, library and university levels.
