Such announcements include births, marriages, and deaths of descendants of Hispanic persons who arrived in Alta California prior to 2 February 1848. Other appropriate announcements include links to newspaper articles/magazine articles/etc. on matters concerning early California history and settlers.

If you are descended from someone who was in the Spanish military during the American Revolution you probably qualify for membership in the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR). Ted Rudisill 858-456-6179 or tedrudisill@san.rr.com would be happy to work with you to gain membership in the SAR.
