Stockton-San Joaquin County Public Library

Genealogy

Finding one's ancestors is an increasingly popular hobby [ 1 ].

Beginners and experienced genealogists alike can find useful search sources at the Library.

The genealogy collection at the Chavez Central Library is particularly strong.

Library staff have prepared a guide to genealogy research on the web.

If you are a beginner and prefer books, try a how-to-do-it guide for genealogy from the Library's collection.
