Once Martha in Seattle has lost her sanity --her words, not mine :-) - -and/or access to the Great Register Index, you can get a copy of this work for yourself. The East Bay Genealogical Society has published the index to the 1890 Great Register for Alameda County and its for sale ($24.95). If you have a lot of roots in turn of the century Alameda County you might be interested. You can get info by going to the EBGS site: http://www.katpher.com/EBGS/EBGS.html and from there clicking on "Publications" Obviously, this is not something you would want to buy for that stray ancestor who once waltzed through Alameda County, but for those with LOTS of roots in turn-of-the-century Alameda County, it's nice to have. --Laurel
