In addition to the Santa Clara City Library, the Santa Clara University Archives and the California History Room at San Jose Public Library have material that can help you further your research. Come to this meeting and learn more.
Mary Boyle has been researching her family since 1981. So far she has traced her ancestors from Wisconsin back to Vermont, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Ireland and England, but she still hasn’t found the Germans in Europe. She is currently in her dream job as a Local History/Genealogy Librarian. Earlier in her career, she taught in library school programs and worked in academic libraries.
