The Fall 2024 issue of The California Nugget is now out! The e-version is available to members on our website. If you’ve opted to receive a hard copy, it should arrive in your mailbox shortly if it hasn’t already.

Our fall issue includes Susan Skilton‘s research on an early Californio family in Santa Clara County. Vanessa Wood writes about the owner of the Venice boarding house that served as her mother’s first California home in childhood. Melanie Proctor recounts her grandmother Pearl Fein’s life as a pop song composer (complete with links to audio clips). And Lisa Gorrell offers tips on planning a genealogical research trip.

Don’t miss outgoing CGS President Chris Pattillo‘s letter at the front of the magazine. Volunteers are the people who keep the society going. If you might be interested in joining the board, or finding another volunteer niche for your talents, please contact Jennifer Dix.

We always welcome submissions to the Nugget; see the CGS website for more information.
