Genealogy & Classes
The Presidio Chapter is fortunate to be
located not far from the Sutro Genealogy Library. The Sutro Genealogy Library has
the largest genealogical collection west of Salt Lake City.
The library has basic resources for
California and also has extensive resources for all other states. Members will often meet there to team up
for research. Visit the
