Hey, folks. I just received a film through LDS, #1000102, which contains the following items: 1. Alameda Co. Great Registers, 1900 = voter registers by precinct for the county 2. Baker, Joseph Eugene. "Past and Present of Alameda County, California", 1914; two volumes, no index; second volume is all biographical sketches. 3. Merritt, Frank Clinton. "History of Alameda County, California", 1928; includes index and many biographies. I have this film until the end of July, I think. I'm not sure how feasible it is to do look-ups in the first item, unless people know the precinct number (possibly from census listings?) where their folks lived. Also, since it's 1900, it's not likely to provide any additional info to what is already available in the US census. Anyone who would like me to check for a biography, please send an email to me by Sunday, July 18th, with the following subject line: ALAMEDA CO LOOK-UP REQUEST. [I'm on lots of lists, so this will insure I don't delete your request.] Please provide as much info as possible...such as an indication of specifically WHEN you think your ancestor lived in Alameda Co. and WHAT they were doing there. I will make ONE scan through the two histories for biographies for folks, hopefully the week of July 20th. Our Family History Center has sharply reduced summer hours, so the times I can get over there are pretty limited. Depending on the number of requests, it could take me several sessions to get through both volumes. Hope this offer helps someone and that others will follow suit.
