Ancestry.com is once again available to researchers at the Orange Family History Center (LDS). I can't begin tell you how cool Ancestry.com is if you haven't used it. For anyone researching genealogy or history, it's an indespensible tool.

The O.C. Historical Society's website features a number of interesting articles, including a short piece by Terry Stephenson about "The Earps in Temescal." (Yes, that's the same Earp family as Wyatt Earp.)

Sadly, I had to shut down comments (my favorite part of the blog) thanks to endless spam. Most of my posts are linked from my FB page and/or from the Orange County California History FB group. Feel free to comment there or to email me. If I can find a more secure way to do so, I will bring back normal commenting later.
