Index to Histories
The Society has created online
indexes to the Histories listed below. The books are available at
The Central Park Library in Santa Clara. Some of the publications are
available via interlibrary loan ( check the
online
catalog at the Central Park Library) or online at Ancestry.com or
Heritage Quest ( These sites are subscription but if you have a Santa
Clara City Library Card you can acces Heritage Quest from home). If you are not able to
visit the Library the research team will copy the page(s) for you for a
fee.
A volunteer genealogy researcher is available to do basic Santa Clara County
research. Fees vary according to the
extent of the research. Our current fees are listed on our
Research Request
Form, please print and mailed to us. This form is in PDF format and
requires Adobe Reader which
is available free from
Adobe.
If you do not have the ability to read the PDF file or you are having
problems reading the form it
is also available in a text format.
Please be sure to include the page number when making the request.
We also will do basic Santa Clara County Research. Check out our
research services to see what else is
available.
