I have spent hours and hours just this past week down at the FHL in Salt Lake and have come up against so many brick walls. In all the researching I've done on many different lines, this line has been the hardest. The Migliore family is my half brothers family and I am sticking to a promise I made to him that I would do this research for him but boy I've wanted to give up!! So, just wanted to let you know that I am waiting on pins and needles to see if the obits show up anything. I think I've got to be looking in the wrong state once they came over from Italy because they don't show up in any records in Louisiana until their time in Fresno, Ca. when several of the family members died and just recently too as you know from the death dates I sent. Anyway, I'm not writing to be a pest, only to say that I am still very, very interested in the results and hope and pray that you will be able to find something or I think I shall just sit down and cry! Thanks again!

We also understand from my husband's grandmother that he died in some type of epidemic and was buried in a mass grave in Fresno. Do you know of anywhere that I could get more information on this?

Dear list, I am new to the list and am looking for SKS who can help me with a lookup for an obit and/or DCT for Lola Jane Chaney b. 17 Mar 1928 and died 1 Apr 1985 in San Joaquin. He husbands name is Wayne Chaney and her parents names were Clarence and Ruth (Lunsford) Christie. She was born in Montana and had three brothers William, Tom and Charles.

I am hoping to be able to do the same with Lola. Her mother and I are 1st cousins 3times removed and I would love to find out more about this family. Thank you so much, Wanda
