Juan Bautista De Anza National Historic Trail Foundation Document

The National Park Service is starting the process of preparing a Foundation Document for planning and administration for the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail. The public is invited to join in this effort.

The National Park Service invites you to play a role in charting the trail's future by sharing your thoughts on what is most important about the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail, and to help identify its most pressing threats and its greatest opportunities. Trail staff will take your thoughts and feedback into consideration as they prepare the Foundation Document.

The Juan Bautista De Anza National Historic Trail is of great importance to all Los Californianos members. The National Park Service is currently looking at the importance of the Juan Bautista De Anza National Historic Trail and its future.

Los Californianos is in a unique position to affect the preservation of its members heritage and connection to the Juan Bautista De Anza National Historic Trail.

Parkin, Sr., Member #2307 and Greg Bernal-Mendoza Smestad, Ph.D., Member #1651, were invited to participate in the “Advisory Committee” for the National Park Service, Juan Bautista De Anza National Historic Trail.

It is extremely important that we have a strong presence completing the online five-question questionnaire at the above website and/or you can send all questions, comments, and De Anza Trail stories to:

Don’t let the “Cancel Culture” phenomena remove another historic piece of our history. The future of the Juan Bautista De Anza National Historic Trail depends on us, the original Colonists that made the trail historic.

A Message from the GSHA-SC Board

Dear GSHA-SC members and the general public: Our chapter and society as a whole has been struck with a crisis that every person in the world has had to experience. We hope you and your families will be given the strength to weather this unwelcome tide of events. Since our meeting space at the Southern California Genealogical Society in Burbank will be impacted by the amount of attendees that can be present. With this in mind, we will have a hybrid meeting with Zoom and in person attendance. .

However, we are planning to have virtual meetings using GoToMeeting or Zoom. When we schedule meetings, they will be promoted with Facebook, email blasts and in some cases, mailed notifications.

We hope you will have patience with us as we work through this transition. You matter to us. Thank you.

GSHA-SC is a 501(C)(3) non-profit California corporation #33-05894533, a non-profit group maintained purely by volunteers, as such we donate some our funds to benefit the awareness of preserving history, teaching our members and non-members how to do genealogy and promoting genealogy where and when we can. In the past, we had helped organization, such as Hispanic Heritage Project in scanning old documents to preserve history and we helped underwrite Genealogy Garage at the local Los Angeles Public Library, where they promote all types of research in areas of genealogy. There have been others throughout the many years this organization has been in existence. Past records of donations can be reviewed, if requested.
