Genealogy Topic of May 11th Meeting
The next meeting of the Milpitas Historical Society, will be a presentation on researching genealogy, given by Trina Gentry. Ms Gentry serves as Second Vice President and Editor of Connections, a publication of Santa Clara County history and genealogies for the Santa Clara County Historical and Genealogical Society.
Her presentation will cover how to work on your family tree and what the society offers for help to family historians and researchers through the vast local and international collection housed in the Santa Clara Central Library on Homestead Road.
The library and the society have combined collections including not only Santa Clara County and California records, but also genealogical information from a variety of other places in the United States, including New England and the southern states as well as family information about ethnic groups such as Italian, Jewish, Native American, Canadian, and many others.
The Milpitas Historical Society meeting will be held Wednesday, May 11 at 7 pm in the Community Room of the Milpitas Public Library, 160 N. Main Street. The public is invited to attend free of charge and meet Ms. Gentry. For further information on the Historical Society, phone (408) 320-9587.

My Great-grandparents were early settlers of Milpitas–names like Hughes and Toohig. I would like to visit your museum and see what you can tell me of my genealogy. Can I make an appointment or just drop in?
Thanks,

We don’t have a museum yet, but we’re working on one. Do attend any meeting, and during the social times at the beginning and ends of the meeting you can talk to members who may know about your family or where to do research on them.
