GENEALOGY SOURCES 
County Histories

Francie Kennedy, Past President of the South Orange County California Genealogical Society, gave a presentation about county histories at the Orange County California Genealogical Society today, and your QHGS Blogger went there to learn all about them. Francie packed so much information into her hour lecture that I’m still processing it all.

During the next few weeks we will discuss various ways to access county histories and, once we’ve found them, we’ll explore how to use what we find in them. So stay tuned for some interesting genealogical adventures!

RESEARCH TIP: Many county histories have been indexed and/or transcribed by volunteers on the U. S. Genweb. Begin searching for them there.
