Hi Jan, Oakland is in Alameda county. CAALAMED-L-request@rootsweb.com Send a message with only the word subscribe to the address above. You have to subscribe to post to the list. Sounds like you need someone to look at city directories for Oakland. There are some in book form on the fifth floor of the SF public library. Maybe someone from this list could volunteer to look for you. I'm sure that they are available in Oakland also. I posted this response to the Alameda list also so maybe someone will volunteer to help you from that list also.
