French Canadian Heritage Society of California: Purpose

French Canadian Heritage Society of California

Purpose

The French-Canadian Heritage Society of California (FCHSC) is affiliated with the Southern California Genealogical Society (SCGS). It is one of several groups operating at the SCGS. The primary purpose of the FCHSC is to foster an interest in our common French-Canadian heritage by researching our own French-Canadian ancestors as well as helping others research theirs and by supporting and making available to the public one of the largest collections of French-Canadian genealogical material in the country. We meet 4-5 times a year at the library of the SCGS in Burbank. In addition to helping others with their research, we sometimes have programs of interest. Some of our members bring their own personal research material to share with the rest of us. You do not have to belong to SCGS to attend our meetings although we encourage it
