Please provide captions that identify as completely as possible the names of all persons, locations, and dates, if known. Color photos are acceptable they will appear in black and white in the printed format. Images below 900 x 900 dpi may not reproduce well in print. If scanning, set the scannerвЂ™s resolution to at least 300 dpi. Low-resolution images will not print well, even when they look fine on a screen. Please submit them as jpg, pdf, or tiff files. Photos add life and interest to any story and can enhance and expand the text. Please include page numbers and proofread your article carefully before submitting it.

Preferred length is between 750 and 1,500 words.

We will convert them to endnotes before publishing the article. If you are using Microsoft WordвЂ™s footnote tool, we prefer that you submit your article with footnotes. (See below for guidelines.) Citations will be printed in the journal as endnotes.

As identification of sources is critical, we require citations.

Please use only one font in the document a common font such as Calibri or Times New Roman is preferred.

We list the names of living people only in certain circumstances.

We prefer this information in the form of a descendancy chart at the end of the article. The summary should include the California ancestorвЂ™s origins, spouses, siblings and parents if known, children, and, if appropriate, grandchildren, with locations and dates of birth, marriage, and death clearly stated. Did your ancestor perhaps participate in an adventure-or misadventure-while passing through California? We would love to hear those stories as well. If so, then your forebears, or those of your children, are the ones we want to read about. Perhaps you or your children are the first members of your family to settle in California. Readers are invited to submit the story of a family member who settled in California, whether this person arrived prior to 1849 or as recently as last year. Twenty-first-century innovations for genealogists, information on little-known resources for California research, вЂњhow-toвЂќ descriptions for those just starting out in genealogy, and informative pieces that assist in the navigation of libraries, repositories, and the internet are of special interest to our readers. Your experiences or unique information will be of assistance to someone else. Most articles fall into either the вЂњ21st-Century GenealogyвЂќ section or the portion of the journal devoted to вЂњCalifornia Ancestors.вЂќ Articles of General Interest for 21st-Century Genealogy Guidelines for Submissions to The California Nugget TheВ Journal of the California Genealogical SocietyДo you have an article to submit to The California Nugget ? We publish two general categories of articles in the California Genealogical SocietyвЂ™s journal, which appears twice a year, spring and fall.
