Libraries in our
Region: An Informative Presentation at the Lemon Grove Genealogy Group
Meeting by Susi Pentico 18 May 2016
Gee. There are a lot of libraries around the San Diego area
that I did not know about before tonight!
The PowerPoint presentation (with live links to library
websites), along with interesting comments and discussion, will certainly
assist in my never-ending search for lost ancestors.
Highlights for me included the San Diego Law Library site.
There are three main law libraries nearby: The San Diego County Law Library
& San Diego County Public Law Library (sandiegolibrary.org), and the
California Western School of Law Library. Researching at a law library could
turn up a black sheep in the family, maybe?
The Chula Vista Library at 4th and F St, Chula
Vista, houses the Chula Vista Genealogy Society resource collection. These
books are for in-library use only, so a road trip is in my near future.
Of course, the nearly-new, very modern San Diego Central
Library is a go-to destination for local genealogists with an entire floor
dedicated to genealogy.
Online site to search the catalog is: https://www.sandiego.gov/public-library.
When on this site, click on ‘Library’, then ‘Classic Catalog’ go to ‘All
Fields’, choose ‘Subject Keyword’, type in ‘genealogy’. Here I located at least
20 scrolling pages of results. Better get busy, fellow ancestor seekers.
And this is just a sample of the libraries covered in Susi’s
presentation.
Happy hunting, y’all!
