The Winter issue of The California Nugget is out, with an
array of goodies to explore.
In “The Many Names of Hew Din,” Grant Din traces the journey
of his Chinese immigrant ancestor, illustrating along the way resources and
techniques for those researching Chinese Americans.
Also, certified genealogist Rondina Wallace outlines a
“backdoor” entry to NARA microfilms which can help researchers glean more
information from this vast collection.
Sheila Benedict’s “California Historic Missions” gives
background on the missions and the records they kept, and explains how to
access the information they contain.
We also have the next installments to three stories begun in
the Fall 2017 Nugget: “Joel Burlingame: A 19th-century Life” by Barry Hinman;
“A Tribute to May (Teruko) Ishimoto” by Norm Ishimoto; and Lavinia Schwarz
continues the saga of untangling her family lines in New Orleans, Cuba, and
Haiti with “Reading Records Right.”
Thanks as always to editor Janice Sellers and the many
volunteers who produce the Nugget. And remember, we are always looking for more
interesting articles on genealogy and history. If you have an idea to submit,
please contact Nugget@CaliforniaAncestors.org.
