May 2023 Newsletter

Hope you're all having a great spring! May marks Asian American and Pacific Islander Month, along with Jewish American Heritage Month and Haitian Heritage Month. If you are Asian American or interested in learning about Asian and Pacific Islander research, then don't forget to join the FREE, virtual, Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month Day at the Southern California Genealogical Society. There will be different topics in Asian and Pacific Islander heritage, including my presentation, "Filipino Genealogy: Tracing You're Filipino Roots". Learn more. Quick tip: If you have Jewish ancestry, my go-to site is JewishGen.

Scottish American Heritage Month just passed this April; if you have Scottish ancestry, then don't forget to read my newest blog post for the Top 5 Scottish Genealogy Websites to use in your family history research!
