[CA-SCGS] Chinese Family History Group Meets June 30, 2018 at CACA

 CHINESE FAMILY HISTORY GROUP

OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Researching Family History

June 30, 2018

10:00 am to 12:00 noon

Topic: Roots+ Experience

Presented by Shirley Chu-Ng and Anna Gee

Through the Roots+ program, Shirley and Anna learned about their ancestor's immigration in the context of Chinese history and visited their ancestral villages.

The Chinese Family History Group of SoCal (CFHGSC) meets to help anyone on a quest to trace his or her Chinese ancestors. In addition to assessing traditional genealogical sources of information for relevance, CFHGSC assists in looking at background information on clan genealogy books, family surnames, location of ancestral villages, Exclusion Act records, oral interviews, and local sources of information as yet untapped.  We document our findings and share methods to pass our family histories on to future generations.

[CA--SCGS] German Interest Group Meeting, Saturday, June 16, 2018

Researching your family tree and finding new, exciting, and sometimes surprising family connections? 

Join the SCGS German Interest Group at their next meeting to be held from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Saturday, June 16, 2018, at the SCGS Family Research Library. Don't miss out! 

Our Speaker this month: Janine Pizano

18th Century Palatine Migration: Rheinland-Pfalz to Tulpehocken, PA

Janine Pizano’s interest in genealogy began in the ‘90’s when her mother delved into her own parent's Italian immigration story which took place at the turn of the 20^th century, resulting in the book, “Jennie, My Mother”.   About five years ago, Janine began researching her father’s family history, and discovered that the origins of his family in this country go back as far as 1710, arriving with the wave of Palatines who immigrated from the Rhineland to New York, and ultimately settling in the present-day Berks and Lancaster Counties in Pennsylvania.  Janine's family surnames include Leto, Sicco, Benzio, Persoglio, and Sovera on her Italian side, and Smith/Schmidt, Witman, Zern, Rühl, and Wenrich on her Pennsylvania Deutsch side.

The goal of the SCGS German Interest Group is to provide a wide range of resources both inside and outside the SCGS Library to help trace German families. Throughout 2017, our German Group will renew its "Routing Our Roots" as well as present short programs on German Exiles in Los Angeles County, History of German Towns, Human Interest Stories on folks of German Heritage, learning German Words and Old German Script, plus any last minute thoughts.

For more information, please contact Allene Aubertin.
