If you are a internet nerd, try google. as a search engine it really has the best diversity and quantity if images at this time. Just type in "tree with purple berries". It helps to know what hardiness zone you are in, probably 9 or 10 in Southern Ca. Also take a good look at the tree, it isn't a vine growing up the tree and producing the fruit?
If you like the library, I love Dirr's "Trees and Shrubs for Warm Climates." Great Pictures and short but thorough descriptions. Happy Hunting!

Scooprand and tonalc1 have a good suggestions.
Check with the Cooperative Extension Service; someone there ought to be able to tell you exactly what variety of tree you have. [You can probably do this over the phone. Even if they're not willing to be certain of the variety over the phone, you could Google/photo search the variety they suspect/think it is, and you could confirm, or not, by the photos that your search reveals.]
