Regional Research With Southern California 1890 Project

Are You Researching

 Los Angeles? 

The 1890 Project® is a must! 

The history of Los Angeles is tightly tied to oil in the late 1800s. Arthur Fremont Gilmore is responsible for commencing the city's production.  He purchased land that was once a dairy farm and converted use to oil production.

This land is now the home of The Original Farmers Market, The Grove, and CBS Studios.

The family is a mainstay in local history; they also introduced car racing and professional baseball to this burgeoning city.^[1]

Researching Los Angeles and its inhabitants is easy now using the Southern California 1890 project®.

There are 75 search results for the Gilmore Family. They include voter registries, city censuses, and other records to include hotels, deaths, jails, births, baptisms, properties, churches, schools, and Saloon permits. 

This is a great research tool!

Need Help In Your Research?

As we have done in past years, the So. Calif. Chapter of the Assoc. of Professional Genealogists is pleased to host Jamboree’s Research Assistance during the weekend of the conference (Friday through Sunday – see registration page for the information on signing up for help, or to give help). 

Please read the instructions carefully, select a consultant that has a specialty in the area where you are stuck, and plan to spend about 20 minutes getting assistance. If there is no consultant whose specialty touches on your needs, come back later; consultants will be registering from now until May 30. If no one has a strength where you have a need, walk-ins are welcome to stop by and see if maybe a consultant has signed up after the online registration has closed.

Calling All Experts - Research Help at Jamboree 2019

Research 
Assistants Needed!

For a number of years now, the So. Calif. Chapter of the Assoc. of Professional Genealogists has hosted the Research Assistance program at Jamboree. We have assisted hundreds of folks with one-on-one, short (20-minute) consultations. But we have not done it alone...we have enlisted the help of the genealogists near and far who are coming to the Jamboree (as an attendee or speaker) to give 30 minutes or more of their time to help folks find their family origins. If you have ever assisted another person (as a professional, volunteer, or just a friend) with genealogical research and have an area that you are relatively strong in, you qualify to be one of these consultants. Please sign up and indicate your area of expertise (anything from "beginning genealogy" to "technology" to a particular ethnicity or historic event). In a few weeks, the online sign-up will be opened to the public so we need a lot of folks, willing to donate some time. Note: if you do not know your schedule yet, you can volunteer as a walk-in consultant during the conference.
