Queries through the Past Finder

If you are struggling with a stubborn brickwall, members of HSJGS are able to submit queries to be included in Past Finder, the society newsletter, at no cost. The Past Finder is sent out to genealogical societies all over the United States, a perfect way to connect with others doing the same research.

Requests can be made via telephone at 951-765-2372, email, or a printable request form is available HERE.
