[quote=Anonymous]A huge portion of California’s population came during the Dust Bowl, WW2 (to work in war production effort or go to the Pacific theater), or post-WW2 boom time. There’s not a ton of 4+ generational Californians still around. For example, in 1900 California only had 1.9% of the U.S. population compared to 11.6% in 2023. Those who can trace their roots back do tend to come from wealthier families that were big landowners or controlled certain industries. The Mexican land grant families are still around have their names on things (ie, Irvine, Yorba, and Bixby families). Their stories are interesting because it often involved interracial marriage between Spanish/Mexican and White families, white guys marrying Spanish wives and wresting control of ranch lands from the father in law, etc. [/quote]
