Twenty members attended the first workshop of the season, so we are off to a good start. There was a table of beginners and we hope to get them searching for ancestors by next week. The only glitch was with the router, as we had problems connecting to the Internet.
We had a brief look at California's Great Registers in honor of election day. If any of your ancestors were in California after 1866, you might find their names listed in those voting registers. The earliest lists (1866-1900) give their age, date of naturalization, a physical description, etc. This database is on the subscription site Ancestry, which you can use at the public library or the local family history center if you do not subscribe.
