Several resources might be helpful as you look for information about your family. UCLA subscribes to The Library Edition of ancestry.com. There are also several resources that you can access from the Los Angeles Public Library (LAPL) website (www.lapl.org). You may need to get an LAPL library card, which does not cost anything, to access these resources. See the links below.
Encyclopedias are a good place to start if you need an overview of a topic you are unfamiliar with. They will often include a bibliography of sources that you can consult for more information.
The mission of the UCLA Library is to provide access to and delivery of information resources to UCLA students, faculty, and staff in support of the research and instructional mission of the university. Relying on its highly skilled staff, the Library encourages innovation, capitalizes on appropriate technologies, forges effective partnerships and aggressively promotes excellence.
