Virtual Surname Wall Ready for Searching

I received a notification the other day that the Southern California Genealogical Society’s Virtual Surname Wall database has now gone live–ready for searching. I tried it out by searching for the surnames I submitted awhile back.

“The Virtual Surname Wall provides a worry-free way to post information about your ancestors online and find others who are researching your families.” There is no charge and you do not have to be a member of SCGS to submit names. No identifying information will be displayed; If SCGS receives an inquiry regarding a possible family connection, they’ll forward the requestor’s contact information to you. But you can elect to authorize SCGS to release either your email address or complete contact information.
