Lorenzi passed away on Wednesday, Nov. 24, 2004, at her daughter's home in Truckee, at the age of 96 years. She was born in Oakland, on March 6, 1908 to Vito Silvester and Philomena Riccetta. She was the sixth of their eight children, Frank, Joe, Al, Mike, Mary, Rose, Theresa and Genevieve. All of them preceded Rose in death, as did Julius Lorenzi, to whom Rose was married on Sept. 23, 1928, in Oakland. They had 35 years together before Julius died on March 15, 1963. Rose worked at Lerners in San Francisco until she retired. A loving mother and a great cook, her life was devoted to her family and her faith. Ten years ago, she moved from Oakland to Winters to be close to her family. She is survived by her son, Paul Lorenzi and his wife, Barbara, of Winters; daughters, Gloria Filipelli and (late) husband, Antonio, of Rolling Meadows, Illinois, Alberta Ruppert and husband, Bill, of Truckee; also by 11 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. Rose is also survived by he! r nephew, Art Vierra, of Pleasant Hill. A Catholic Requiem Mass was held on Monday, Nov. 29, at 11 a.m. at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Winters, with Father Chuck and others doing a superb job in memory of Rose. On Tuesday, Nov. 30, Rose was buried next to Julius at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, in Hayward. (Obituary from the "Winters Express," Thursday, December 9, 2004, (Yolo County).

Surnames: Freeman Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zV.2ADI/1705 Message Board Post: I am looking for Daniel David Peter Freeman. He is, we believe, the father of my husband. He does not know of the existance of his son, named Ian. The most information that I have is that he went to High School around or in Walnut Creek/Danville. Graduating in about 1965. Daniel Freeman would be roughly 58 years old, give or take. His son was born in 1965 to a young mother named Deborah Rogers. Every search I do comes up with several Daniel D Freeman's, but I do have his full name. I am so frustrated, as I would love to find this man for my husband. He speaks of it now and again, wanting to maybe know his father, or even if he could, see a picture. All my searches end with: you must pay this amount to get these results. There are so many, I feel I would waste several hundred dollars trying to find him. As all of us would say, we'd love any information possible. Thanks for your time in reading this long message. krista

Greetings to all of my BRITNELL cousins in California. I am conducting a census for BRITNELL hopefully to be complete by March of 2005. During my research in the past fifteen years I have discovered that there are about 4000 of us using the name w/w. This name appears to be going into decline. To avert the total loss of the name, somewhere down the line of time, I am hoping that we can come up with a solution to avoid this. We need your participation. The BRITNELL name has an interesting history and it would be a terrible shame to lose it. I don't much like being an endangered species. For those BRITNELLs who did not receive a census package in the mail please email me here-->[email protected] OR: write to me at 35 Deerpoint Road, SE, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2J 6R3 I hope to have the census complete by March of 2005.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zV.2ADI/1696.1.1 Message Board Post: Thank you Paul, the information you gave was great. I have since found out that Edward Allen Young and wife Amanda also lived on Logan St. in 1920, Oakland, Brooklyn Township, so I am assuming they remained in the area until death. Edward Young, according to the SS Death Index died Sept 1963. Would anyone know what newspaper would possibly report his obituary at that time and how I could find same. Would much appreciate any help offered. There are so many cemetaries in the area I figure this would be the best way to continue my search. Thank you.

Perhaps it is not important, but I forgot to mention that Andrew J Tyson and his second wife Emma were buried in San Lorenzo. M.Lewerenz -- GMX im TV ... Die Gedanken sind frei ... Schon gesehen? Jetzt Spot online ansehen: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/tv-spot

Hello, sorry for answering so late. This is esp. for Sharon, George and Delbert, but cert. also for others... Thank you for your efforts. Below I quoted some of your postings and put some new questions. First I will explain the relationship. I cant tell the exact dates, as I am at the moment not at home where most of my datas are. My grandgrandmother was born 1877 in SF as Alice Beswick Tyson. Her father was from Schleswig-Holstein: Andrew Johnson Tyson (Andreas Jan Thaysen). He came in the 1860s to California with an uncle of him, also called Andrew Tyson, who died in the 1890s somewhere in Nevada, Nebraska, NewMexico or so, running a saloon etc. Andrew J Tyson worked with an George Bill in SF as an Butcher (corner Powell/Clay street). He married Ida Frances Crandell. She came from RI. Her father was Samuel (B.T/F) Crandall/ Crandell/ Crandel). We have letters that her father lived in the veterans home in Yountville, the 1900/1910? Census states that he lived with his Brother Benjamin, as far as I can remeber, in Oakland. Samuel was born ca 1836 in Providence. He had two brothers (Thomas (1841?, Benjamin 184?) and a sister Hattie. Samuel was married to Mary Gartside. When they lived in CA they were divorced already. Mary lived with her daughter. Ida and Andrew were also divorced. Ida married a David B/D Barclay. They lived in LA, SF, Oakland...? Andrew married an Emma Widmann, they had an other daughter Ohmie, but he died ca 1893. Before he died he sent his eldest daughter Alice back to what was know Germany. There she married in 1898 and became 6 children. The letters I have quote that her mother+grandmother in CA where not happy with that. I guess there was no further contact between them in the future. 1.Alice B. Tyson in Germany Alice Thaysen, later Lauritzen. (1977-1961/3) 2.Andrew J Tyson (1854?-1893?) 3.Ida F. Crandall, Tyson, Barclay...(1856-1912???) 4.Samuel Crandall, Crandell, Crandel (1836?-190?) 5.Mary Gart(h)side (183?-?) The brothers of Samuel, Thomas and Benjamin, they called themselve Crandell: http://www.cagenweb.com/archives/Biographies/marin/mar-clau.htm "I checked the records for Mt. View Cemetery, for the Crandall's and found Ben, he is in plot 45 grave 69. Also found the grave plot for Thomas and Eliza, they are in plot 12 grave 70. along with three children, a daughter Susan Matt, who died at the age of 5 months 26 days, on Feb 1, 1879, a stillborn child who died Sept 17, 1881 and a son Chester Smith Crandall, who died at the age of 76 years on Oct 1, 1946. Now as to why we could not find a obit for Thomas, Delbert, is he died May 22, 1914 not 1916.;-) Also found a B. C. for a child of Ben and Jernske (Vronman ?) Crandall, who was born Aug 6, 1878. George " I did not knew , that there were these two little Babies, I only knew Chester, Harry, Harriet/Hatttie. Thomas middle name was B. an other source says Baldwin Ripley http://www.cagenweb.com/marin/grtreg-c.html Benjamin´s wife name I know was not the same of this wife you quoted. My Benjamin is said to have had a girl Called Florence. "CRANDELL, Ida age: 56 yrs county: 70 date: 21 January 1925" the age would fit to my Ida,if this Ida would have ahd died in 1912. Is this date correct? CRANDELL, Benjamin age: 46 yrs county: 60 (Alameda) date: 24 May 1909 CRANDELL, Eliza F. age: 75 yrs county: 60 date: 11 Sept 1917 They were prob. not the ones I searched, ? "I have obit for Ben and Eliza, please send me your address so I can mail them to you." Were they married to eachother? Would you mind transcribing it for me and send it via email? "For I checked Oakland City Directory for the 1915, and Elizabeth, is listed as a widow of Thomas, so he most of died in 1914 or early 1915" What else is quoted in the directory? "I checked the records for Mt. View Cemetery, for the Crandall's and found Ben, he is in plot 45 grave 69. Also found the grave plot for Thomas and Eliza, they are in plot 12 grave 70. along with three children, a daughter Susan Matt, who died at the age of 5 months 26 days, on Feb 1, 1879, a stillborn child who died Sept 17, 1881 and a son Chester Smith Crandall, who died at the age of 76 years on Oct 1, 1946.

Are there any further notices like birth/death dates of eliza etc... Is there an Harry A. Crandell too? Is there an directory about Benjamins work? Is it possible to find out whether Chester and Harry were married? Thank you for all! M.Lewerenz Germany -- GMX im TV ... Die Gedanken sind frei ... Schon gesehen?

I would also like to ask for an obituary lookup. For Richard Rich-listed in the Oakland, Alameda Co., 1920 Census. He was born in Cornwall England. Born around 1855-56. Also, possibly John Rich in either San Francisco or Oakland before 1920. He was alive in at least 1910. Richard's death would be before 1930 because he does not appear in the 1930 census any where. His possible birth date is December 26, 1855. Trying to verify if this Richard Rich is my gr. great grandfather. Thank you.
