"Searching the Early
California Population Project (ECPP) Database"
Wednesday, June 25, 2021 • 6:30 pm PDT
RSVP to gshasocal@gmail.com for Zoom link.
John P. Schmal will provide a lecture/Q&A
about using the Huntington Library's ECPP Database. His presentation
will discuss and show examples of baptism and marriage documents of
California Mission Indians and of Mexican soldiers. Then he will discuss the
ECPP database, with suggestions on how to use it. To the beginner,
this database -- with dozens of search fields -- seems challenging and
confusing, but
John will describe how to use it effectively,
and after that will do selected searches suggested by the attendees.
Holdings of the ECPP Database: The ECPP database was developed by the Huntington Library
to provide public access to all the information contained in the California
mission registers. The database encompasses records from 21 of the California
missions, in addition to the Los Angeles Plaza Church and the Santa Barbara
Presidio, and reflects information culled from 101,000 baptisms, 27,000
marriages and 71,000 burials performed in California between 1769 and 1850.
