About this webinar

What resources are available for researching your California ancestress? California women received the  right to vote in 1911 which results in  records  nonexistent in some other states but other activities like club memberships, church activities, and work leave even more. Periodicals, directories, cookbooks, and organizational records leave a trail that should be explored. We’ll look at specific California examples and where to find information on your California female ancestor.
