Consultants – Santa Clara County Historical & Genealogical Society

Can our free consultants help you?

Researching your family tree can be exciting and fun; but sometimes it can be confusing and frustrating. Let our free consultants help you move forward. We have a highly skilled set of amateur genealogists who have assisted many people in the Heritage Pavilion. Our service works best if you come with a specific question such as:

Where can I look to find records for the (marriage, birth, death) of this person?
What should I do to determine if these two records belong to the same person?
I’ve tried all the usual places for records; what can I try now?
What resources in the Heritage Pavilion can help with my research problem?
How can I find an obituary for this person?
