MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION

Regular Membership is open to any person who submits an ancestral lineage chart which, to the satisfaction of the Chairman of the Genealogical Committee, shows that person to be a descendant of an Hispanic person or Hispanic persons who arrived in Alta California prior to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, February 2, 1848. The spouse of a Regular Member, upon payment of dues, may join as a Regular Member.

 A person under the age of eighteen who submits a satisfactory ancestral lineage chart qualifies for a Junior Membership.

 An applicant who claims such descent, but is unable to furnish an ancestral lineage chart which meets approval, may become a Provisional Member for one year. The Provisional Membership is renewable for a second year with the approval of the Chairman of the Genealogical Committee.

 Historians, authors, or scholars who render outstanding assistance in the study and dissemination of information on Alta California may apply to the Board of Directors for Historian Membership.

 Corresponding Membership may be granted by the Board of Directors to educational institutions, libraries, or historical societies that express interest in the history of Alta California or have rendered outstanding assistance in the study and dissemination of information on Alta California.
