THE QUESTING HEIRS ARCHIVE 

Digitized Newsletters

As an old adage says, “If you don’t know where you came from, you can’t figure out where you’re going.”

Thanks to QHGS archivists and historians who saved “almost everything,” our organization is fortunate to have hard copy newsletters dating back to 1977—newsletters we can consult to find out who our officers have been, how often we have moved meeting locations, and which genealogical issues concerned the family historians of forty years ago—newsletters that show us where we came from. Complete years of our newsletter from 2003 to the present day are available on the “Past Issues” page of our website, and our Digital Archivist is busy preparing more old QHGS newsletters for posting online. Although it is true that much of the information contained in them is now out-dated, there are still many articles worth reading. If you would like to find out more about our genealogy club’s past members, projects, seminars, and speakers, explore these newsletters for free at http://www.qhgs.info/newsletter-past.html.

RESEARCH TIP: If your Long Beach ancestors were interested in genealogy during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, chances are good that they belonged to QHGS. Check out the old online newsletters to search for their names and activities.
