Eileen, Glad to help!! I grew up in Antioch and Oakley, Brentwood, Byron were all part of my stomping grounds. My family has been there for many, many generations. I live in San Luis Obispo now, but my family is still in Antioch. So if you need some additional info (ie names, addresses, phone numbers) let me know. I can e-mail them for info. I also travel up there to visit a couple times a year. As for the helping, I think that's the greatest part of geneaolgy on-line. If it were not for the wonderful volunteers passing along even the slightest bit of information, I wouldn't have half the information I do today. Sometimes the proverbial "shot in the dark" is all we have to go on. It truely has been my pleasure to help!
