Last week I shared some information about videos, but I wanted to take a moment to talk about the CGS & Los Californianos California History Series (https://www.californiaancestors.org/videos_for_cgs_members/). This video series is a special joint program of the California Genealogical Society and Los Californianos. It is available to view by CGS and Los Californianos Members.
Los Californianos (https://loscalifornianos.org/) is a non-profit organization whose members have direct blood-line descent from the thousands of individuals of Hispanic ancestry who were residents of what we now call California between 1769 and 1848. This series speaks to so many names we know from living in California: Vallejo, Moraga, Pacheco. The stories of families and history and families IN history. They are truly treasures, and FREE FOR MEMBERS of either organization!
