| GSHA-SC - Genealogical Society of Hispanic America - Southern California | |
The purpose of the Genealogical Society of Hispanic America (GSHA) is to promote Hispanic genealogical and historical research, and to expand awareness and knowledge of Hispanic culture, historical contributions, and traditions. The Southern California chapter has a large collection of Hispanic genealogical records, maps, Hispanic family histories, and history books. At the GSHA-SC chapter meetings, members can check out selected books for a nominal fee, allowing you to research at home until the book has to be returned. Genealogy resources focus on the areas of Colorado, New Mexico, California, Mexico and other areas in the Southwest. The fees are used to purchase more books to add to the collections. The GSHA-SC is a large and active group which meets at the SCGS Library
four times a year, usually on the first Saturday of each quarter, from
10-4. They also co-host an annual Fiesta in October at Los Angeles historic Olvera Street. In 2005 they launched a series of research meetings in members homes throughout L.A. and Orange Counties. The contact person for the group is Donie Nelson. For further information she can be reached at 310-839-3140 or e-mail doniegsha@earthlink.net . To download a registration form, click here.
