Purpose


Creator:

Elizabeth C. Feil is the creator and web master of this site. I have a master's degree in American history from the University of California at Davis and a master's degree in library science from the University of Maryland at College Park. I am currently a Local History & Genealogy Librarian for a midwestern public library.


Purpose:

This site focuses on California's Sacramento Valley. It is dedicated to bringing unique historical and genealogical materials— photographs, letters, diaries, family Bibles, wedding announcements, and more— out of the attic, so they can be shared with others interested in this area and the people who lived there. All of the families represented in the images, documents, and commentaries here have one thing in common: descendants who ended up in the the Sacramento Valley.

This site is intended to be a resource for historians and genealogists. Please view it as a starting point, not the final word, for research on any subject or family. All of the information is subject to periodic change when corrections and improved information come to my attention.
