On July 3rd, I sent out the following lookup offer: >From: Ginny S <sommarsharp@hotmail.com> >To: CAALAMED-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [CAALAMED-L] Look-Up Offer >Date: Sat, 03 Jul 1999 11:45:47 PDT > >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. > >Ginny in Seattle > As it turns out, this summer has been an absolute zoo for me, and I ended up renewing the film, but have yet to touch it. I will, hopefully, get a chance this Saturday, August 14th. I have received requests for lookups from the following folks to date: Connie Putnam [HODGES] Trudy Bray [STOKES] Marisa McDonald [McDONALD, SHEPARD] Guy-Alban [TOUCHARD, FELTON, BOCQUERAZ, PIOCHE] I have a nagging feeling that another request disappeared somewhere into cyberspace, so if I've missed any of you, please let me know. Also, if there are any additional names I should be looking for, please send them to me ASAP. Sorry I've been so slow getting around to these look-ups. I'll try to get back to y'all next week.
