Specialties of Our Society: California
& Los Angeles County Research
In our own geographic area, we can offer clients information on the vital areas
of birth, death and marriage, plus newspaper obituaries. We also have extensive
records of people coming to the California Gold Rush, their names being on ship
records, overland wagon train lists, and the newspapers of the day. SCGS also
produced an 1852 census for the new State of California.
Additional areas of research include:

This makes our library, and its research team, well positioned to conduct studies
on your ancestors as they migrated to and around this country.
- Revolutionary War Ancestors - if your ancestor was born before 1765 there
is a strong possibility that he served in the Revolutionary War.

fought in the many Colonial Wars from the Pequot War in 1637 to the French
& Indian Wars ending in 1762.
