I am trying to uncover information on my Mother's adoption. I need to know the address that her adoptive parents were living at for the years: 1912 thru 1916 Adoptive parents: David Brown Ralph Ella Bertha Ralph (maiden name: Weatherby) I am not sure what city they were living in at the time, but at one time they lived in Berkeley/Oakland area. I sincerely appreciate any assistance. Thanks. Colleen irishc@earthlink.net

Hello - I need some guidance. I want to get a copy of a will, death & residence Oakland, CA, 1905. CAGEN - Alameda page indicates wills filed with County Clerk, the Clerk-Recorder home page makes no mention of wills, probate, etc. How does one go about ordering a copy of a will where estate was settled in Alameda Co? Appreciate any help. Bill

Hi Duston, Took a look at CADI from 1940-94 and you have quite a few choices: HULL: There were no listings for Fayette or Bernard Edwin U, spouse LH, 546-07-0548, Fresno, Nov. 24, 1955, #91831 Edwin C., souse EM, 552-09-9613, Los Angeles, Aug. 12, 188, #144267 Lee, 562-10-8756, Los Angeles, July 30, 1958, #70479 Lee C., Santa Barbara, Jan. 191, 1960, #7624 Lee S. 266-63-9628, Santa Clara, Aug. 26, 1991, #132776 Allen B., spouse TK, 472-07-1371, Sonoma, Oct. 3, 1972, #124275 Allen J., spouse AM, 573-16-3014, Tuolumne, June 18, 1988, #104978 No listings for Georgia, Charles M. or John A. under FLANEGIN, FLANAGON, FLANNAGAN or FLANNIGAN but there were these: FLANIGAN: Georgina E, 365-52-4609, Los Angeles, June 6, 1991, #89567 John H., spouse EE, 382-01-9351, Los Angeles, 1/25/68, #6186 John H., spouse DS, 550-64-2436, Sacramento, June 9, 1993, #89224 FLANAGIN: Charles M., spouse TD, 569-22-2189, Kern, June 24, 1990, #87606 FLANAGAN: John, spouse MF, Los Angeles, May 29, 1942, #39484 John, spouse SF, 545-22-2717, San Francisco, Oct. 1, 1941 John H., spouse DC, 568-16-5847, Los Angeles, 9/25/68, 119839 Charles, spouse MF, 553-18-7139, San Joaquin, May 22, 1940, #32803 Charles, spouse WB, 562-03-8663, Los Angeles, March 30, 1960, #43624 Georgia E., spouse AW, 550-36-5227, San Mateo, July 12, 1954, #54489 John H.

Checked CADI 1940-49 for: Williams, Pleiades M., spouse BM, Los Angeles, June 2, 1942, c#8369/s#37367 Here are some Martins from 1940-49: Martin, Lester L, spouse HP, Stanislaus, Sept. 2, 1947, 70698 Martin, Lester M, San Bernardino, June 22, 1946, 46281 Martin, Ruth (spouse RM), San Diego, June 11, 1941, 39471 Ruth E., spouse TE, Merced, Nov. 27, 1946, 82424 Ruth F., spouse, JM, Alameda, Nov. 29, 1949, 90565 Could not find a Dair Martin in CADI 1905-1929 Could not find a Lester Martin in CADI 1905-1929 Martin, John D., spouse M, age 69, Alameda, June 28, 1927 Martin, John D., age 71, Alameda, June 29, 1928 No John F. Martin in CADI 1905-29 Didn't get to Laura Martin 1905-1929 and I didn't get to 1930-39 microfilm yet. Looked at 1905-29 for Ellen Martin. None of the Ellen Martins died in 1920, none in Alameda county and none of the Ellens listed were age 4 when they died. Looking at all the names that began with E. these are the only ones that could have been close to four years of age in 1920: Emma, age 1, June 15, 1918, Stanislaus County Evangeline, age 4, July 15, 1921, Los Angeles I don't know if any of this helps past the first one. I was overwhelmed by the number of Martins appearing on microfilm. Hopefully you have some birthdates so the ages from the CADI 1905-29 will either eliminate names or confirm them. Colleen

I'm the coordinator for the Alameda County GenWeb site and I'm seeking help from those of you who conduct research within the county. At the GenWeb site, which I urge you to visit at: http://www.katpher.com/alamecty/alamecty.htm I have a list of newspapers that published within Alameda County--the list was compiled by Dan Mosier. What I would like to do now is add the libraries and research locations within or near Alameda County where these newspaper collections can be found. If you know where any of these are, please drop me a line with the name of the newspaper, name of the library, and the time period that the collection covers. I could do this myself, but it would take much longer. Thanks, Laurel Egenberger, Coordinator Alameda County GenWeb

Hi Duston, Are you familiar with the California Death Index? It is an index that the state compiled of all deaths reported in California. If you would like to have any of the names below checked for death dates between 1940 and 1994 I could do that for you.

Social Security Death Index shows the following entry which maybe who you are looking for: ANTONE PAUL Born 15 Aug 1901 Died Dec 1980 Last Residence ZIP = 02721 (Fall River, Bristol, MA) Death Benefit ZIP = 02720 (Fall River, Bristol, MA) SS# 033-05-4904 issued in Massachusetts before 1951 This is the only Antone PAUL in the SSDI.

I am searching for information about the family, origins and ultimate place of residence for Antone PAUL, Jr. PAUL was born about 1901, and boxed as a featherweight in the Oakland area under the name Johnny Burns. He married Ida DERESPINIS in 1921 in Oakland, and apparently had a half-brother named Domingo Duarte, who boxed under the name Younger Johnny Burns. He was last seen in the Oakland area in the '30s, but left California sometime later. Thanks for any help!

I am looking for any information on Doris PANOSIAN. The last piece of information that we have on her is that she was from Oakland, California. She had a son sometime in the late spring or early summer of 1945. His fathers name is EISELE. If anyone knows of these names, please let me know. Thanks, Julie Hendrix

There is a little cemetery in San Lorenzo on east side of Hesperian Blvd, just south of I-238. Does anyone know the name of it? I know it is old as I remember monuments with dates in the 1800s on them and they looked old. Is anyone been buried there in recent years, judging by the the weeds I saw the last time I went by, I doubt it, but I could be wrong about it.
