I am trying to find out what I can of a Mrs. John L. BARLING who lived near their cleaning and dye works at 20 Collingwood after the Quake and Fire of 1906. It appears that Mrs. Barling may be the sister of Maggie CRENNAN, the wife of John Amos GAFFIGAN. We don't have any information on Mrs. Barling other than it was suggested that the Gaffigans stayed with the Barlings after the disaster. Any assistance would be appreciated. Jim Carroll j.j.carroll@earthlink.net
I was hopeful that someone could do a few look-ups to see if there is anything to fill in the picture on the GAFFIGANs. When they first came over from Scotland my great grandfather John Amos Gaffigan was only a little guy. His mother, Mary Amos GAFFIGAN (Goffigan, McGaffigan; they knew it was spelled something like that), brought the children to New York, went on to New Haven, Conn., and then to the isthmus. We don�t even know how they got there. I have hit the proverbial brick wall on anything about Mary and her (late?) husband Patrick. So, I thought that we could double back and find out something about her sisters, her probable sponsors: In 1867 she arrived in San Francisco aboard the Moses Taylor from Nicaragua with the two boys and went to live with her sister Mrs. CHARLES CAMPBELL. According to his journal that was at #6 Thompson Avenue in the South Park in San Francisco. Next door, at # 5, lived Miss ANNIE AMOS, while the Crenan family was at #2. All of this was supposed Thompson Avenue. After the 1868 Earthquake Mary and her two children went across the Bay with her sister Annie to live at Dr. LAMBERT's hostelry in Alameda, at Encinal and High Streets. They moved back to San Francisco, into the home of a Mr. James H (or A) O' CONNELL, who had a stationery and book store in San Francisco, at 310 5th Street. Does it provide anyone any clues? j.j.carroll@earthlink.net
At the Bancroft Library, I found the Catalog for the Berkeley Gymnasium, a Prep School in Berkeley from about 1877 to 1891. In their 1876-87calatlog, they listed as a student group two football teams, the positions listed were (one) Full Back, (two) 1/2 Backs, (on) 1/4 Back, and (two) 3/4 Backs. Any idea what the 3/4 back did, and what happened to the position, George __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Can anyone on this list help with a look-up in Louis J. Rasmussen's book, San Francisco Ship Passenger Lists, Volume 1, page 68? I am looking for information on E. N. Hill who came to San Francisco in 1852. A reference to him is shown on page 68 of this book, can anyone tell me what else might be there? Thanks, Teresa
Can someone direct me the library where I could have someone search for an obit? The counties are Yuba, Santa Clara County and Montgomery County, California. Thank you, Hazel
Hi list, the above site has recently been updated with various records covering Settlement,Bastardy,Apprentice,Removal etc. Derbyshire based it contains many names of folks from other counties who for one reason or another had a connection ,however tenuous with Derbyshire. It may be you have no Derbyshire connections, I expect most of you will not have, however a lot of you will have English ancestors and the above site will give you an idea of just what may be found in certain documents in English Record Offices. And you never know what you may find. It may just be your lost Uncle Jack is here. ! Yesterday Journey located at; http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~spire/Yesterday/index.htm mike

While looking at the Sierra County Historical Society Quarterly, I found in the Vol. 2 issue # 1, May 1970, a article by Janice Nervino, at the time Senior at Loyalton High. On the "Old Irish" or Westside Cemetery in Sierra County, which is midway between Calpine and Beckworth, on Highway 23, it just off the highway. The cemetery was used from 1874 to the 1930's, with the last burial, being in 1970, when a Mrs. Elizabeth Turner, was buried, she being a one of the very last of the "pioneers" of Sierra Valley, and one of the direct descendants of the original Irish settlers. She listed the names that she copied from the headstones, that were still there at the time of her article. So here are the names and dates that she had in her article.

From todays L.A. Times, (Oct. 11, 2005) http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-wall11oct11,1,1747545.story Baked, Rattled -- and Now in a Tourist Role Lone Pine's 'Old Adobe Wall' -- actually, just a chunk of it -- survived the earthquake that leveled the town in 1872. Fenced off in an alley, it's become quite the draw. By Jocelyn Y. Stewart Times Staff Writer October 11, 2005 LONE PINE, Calif. Calamity offers this guarantee: After the earthquake, after the fire, some things will be left standing and some will earn eternity. Such is the history of a chunk of wall that sits behind the local floral and gift shop in this town of 1,655 in the eastern Sierra foothills. The "Old Adobe Wall" survived the earthquake that leveled the town in 1872, and since then has won fame as Lone Pine's only example of pre-earthquake adobe architecture. To the untrained eye, it is more baffling than awe-inspiring, a buff-colored hulk locked behind a chain-link fence. But generations of townsfol! k have ensured its preservation, passing down the responsibility as if it were a family heirloom. The wall is an example of grass-roots preservation, of local people deciding what matters, what to save, what to let fade away. "I don't think I would dare tear down a historical site," said the aptly named Beverly Vander Wall, a Lone Pine resident who owns the La Florista shop and the Old Adobe Wall behind it. "It's in my way in some ways, but it's also a draw to my business. It's kind of neat to have something so old." The wall is not near the top of the list of Lone Pine attractions. Backpackers come through here to tackle Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the lower 48 states. Filmmakers come for the beauty of the Alabama Hills, a perfect backdrop for scores of classic movies. Humphrey Bogart's "High Sierra" was filmed here, as were "How the West Was Won" and episodes of the TV series "Star Trek." Last week the town was packed with people attending the 16th annual Lone Pine Film Fes! tival. But the wall too has its visitors and its place albeit in an alley, just south of Jake's Saloon. The Old Adobe Wall is actually a piece of a wall. It is 148 inches long and 80 inches high, made of adobe brick and rubble held together with mortar. The bottom layer consists of 3 feet of heavy stone. The real-life drama that earned the wall its spot in history took place at 2:30 a.m. on March 26, 1872. "Since the quake happened in the morning, many people were killed when the adobe walls fell on them and trapped them in their homes," said Beth Porter, a museum specialist with the Eastern California Museum in nearby Independence. "Inyo County was a young county . [The quake] rattled it right down to the ground." Charles and Madeleine Meysan's general store, which included living quarters for their 10 children, was among the many buildings that collapsed. Their daughter Alice was killed, according to the town history on the Chamber of Commerce website. About 300 people lived! in Lone Pine at the time, and 27 died in the quake. They were buried in a mass grave. The Meysans rebuilt on the site but never tore down the section of wall left standing after the disaster. No other adobe structures would be built again in Lone Pine, Porter said. "You could say adobe was virtually outlawed as building material," Porter said. "It basically was deemed unsuitable building material. I think that stands in the ordinance today. I don't think you can use adobe." The quake introduced the era of wood-frame buildings. It also changed the landscape, creating Diaz Lake, just south of Lone Pine, and causing the western side of Owens Lake, now dry, to drop 15 feet, Porter said. And it made Lone Pine a destination for seismologists. Modern estimates put the 1872 quake's magnitude as high as 8.0. "It's a real hot topic," Porter said. "They come to study the quake activity. It was such a huge event. There have not been many modern earthquakes at that magnitude." The Meysan family! held on to the new building and the wall remnant for decades before finally selling the property to a private buyer. By the 1930s the city of Los Angeles owned the site. In the 1960s, according to Department of Water and Power records, efforts were made to repair the wall, said Chris Plakos, a Bishop-based DWP spokesman. In the early 1970s, according to the town history, someone called the Meysans' granddaughter, Elodie Drew, and discussed bulldozing the wall. Drew was horrified, and DWP workers built the enclosure that now protects the wall. "I guess I sounded pretty mad, because they went and put up a fence around the wall," Drew, now deceased, once told an interviewer. Vander Wall said she purchased the property at auction in 1978. She too decided the wall would remain. On June 17, 2000, the wall was officially dedicated by the local chapter of E Clampus Vitus, a California fraternal order with a tongue-in-cheek name (it's not real Latin) and roots that extend to the Gold Rush e! ra. On the sidewalk near the entrance to La Florista, an impressive plaque explains the wall's past. Since 2002, the state Office of Historic Preservation has listed the property as a "state point of historical interest," the lowest designation on the scale of recognition, well below "historic monument" status. That happens often when local residents nominate a site, a spokesman said. La Florista operates in the same structure the Meysans built after the earthquake; two rooms have been added. Vander Wall, who bids farewell to her customers with "come more often and bring more money" and "happy trails," is happy to have people visit her shop and the wall. She proudly pointed out where a stovepipe once passed through the wall and how the heat turned the clay a beautiful chocolate brown. When visitors look closely, Vander Wall said, they can see the "sticks, little stones, other kinds of rocks, junk stuff" that pioneers used to build the town. The visitors leave impressed, she said. --------------------------------- Yahoo! Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs. Try it free.

I found a marker at Mt.
