Hello I have a mystery. In 1946 My great uncle James Cameron left money in his will to his 15 year old twin grandaughters Jean Lovingood and Janet Lovingoods of Los Angelos. But as far as I can see he had no daughters who could have been their mother. But he did have a son John R Cameon in Oakland, California From the Californian Birth Index there were aJanet Marie & Jean Nathalie LOVINGGOOD born September 16, 1931 in Los Angeles. The father's surname was obviously LOVINGGOOD and the mother's was FALKENBACH. This from the California Birth Index. It looks as if they might have been adopted by John Cameron who died in 1966 in Alameda County. If I could get his obituary it might throw some light on this mystery Kay --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I remember the black-outs and the ration stamps. Some people had black-out curtains, and some didn't. We didn't have them, so we just had to turn our lights off. There was a block warden for each block, who would go from house to house to tell people that it was black-out time. . . I still have 3 of the old ration books--one for me, one for my mother and one for my father. In fact, they still have stamps left in them. So they must have been books that were issued just when ration time ended. By golly, if we go back to rationing, I'll be ready!

She worked in the yard outside. She was a supervisor, in her early'40's, supervised young men who were about 18 years old. It was during WW2. She was all set to become one of the women who'd work on constructing airplanes, they called "Rosie The Riviter", But the war ended too soon. What part of Alameda was Pacific Bridge in? Near what streets? What's there now? My Mom worked there until abt.Nov. 1944 (?) I was born two months later.
