    July 26, 2026  2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
    Heritage Pavilion, Central Park Library, 2635 Homestead Rd, Santa Clara, CA 95051, USA

    Please join us for SCCHGS’s July “Sunday Society Social!” We invite all to come and meet other genealogists, work on your research, share your great finds, perhaps break through a brick wall! Bring your computer and or your research files, ask peers for help, or offer assistance to others. There will be a brief discussion about some of the materials available at the library, perhaps you’ll find that missing piece to help in your research. We are located upstairs in the Heritage Pavilion. This is a registered event as space is limited.
