Hello Los Angeles Group!! I am putting in a request for a death certificate transcript. No hurry to this, but get me on the list if possible. Best regards to Deborah and family. Is there anyone else who has volunteered to do these look-ups? If so, I would be very appreciative of any help. William Charles Hunt b. 2-18-1878 d. 8-11-1948 L.A. Co. this is from Ca. Death records. Thank you, Lillian Kathleen Martin

Thanks to everyone who helped me locate the Hub Street address. Also thank you to whoever took the time to send the map -- unfortunately, I stupidly blew the email away before I had a chance to reply. Whoever you are, I am sorry and I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Carol

Carol, Looking at my old 1979 Thomas Bros. Street Map book, there's a Hub St in the Highland Park area, located within a triangle formed by Figueroa St, Avenue 54, and York Blvd. Linda In a message dated 5/12/02 6:17:56 PM Central Daylight Time, SangsterC@aol.com writes: > Could some kind person please tell me in which area of Los Angeles 5685 Hub > Street is located?

I am looking for the second marriage of my great grandfather RICHARD MACKAY in Los Angeles to a woman named OPAL. It would have taken place between 1915 and 1920. thanks for any help or direction! kathryn in Maine

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Eliza WILSON ORCUTT taken at the Frank Spencer Studio in Malone, NY. I believe the photograph was probably taken in the early 1900's with Eliza appearing to be in her 50's or 60's at the time. In addition to her name the following message is written on the back of the photograph: "Mae's and Hope's Grandmother ORCUTT" "Mayfred and Manfred's also" Based on limited research, I believe this is a photograph of Eliza G. WILSON b. 1847 or 1850 in NY, the daughter of Elijah WILSON (born in Canada or VT) and ??? (Mother b. in VT) who married Benjamin L. ORCUTT b. 1842 in VT. It appears that Eliza & Benjamin ORCUTT had four children, including Manfred (aka Fred M.); Harry; Josie M.; and Susie S.; all born in NY between 1876 and 1882. Eliza died in 1904 and is buried at the Ives Cemetery in Dickinson Center, NY and Benjamin died in 1920 and is also buried in the Ives Cemetery along with Eliza. Three of the children were living in NY at the time of Eliza's death, the fourth Harry was living in Los Angeles, CA at that time. Harry ORCUTT does appear in the 1920 census in Dickinson, NY with wife Nellie, and two children Malcolm and Hope. His sister-in-law Faith HOOK was also living with the family at that time and is included. I'm assuming it is his daughter Hope that is referred to on the photograph and that the others may be Fred's children since Mayfred appears to have been his given name. My hope is that someone from this family can be located so that the photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I would appreciate a directory lookup for Clinton C. Richardson, of Pasadena, circa 1920. Thank you Don

Hi, I am wondering if anyone knows of an index to divorces in California, especially for the time period 1925 to 1970. Or, how one might otherwise determine if a person were divorced. I am trying to find info on my deceased uncle Earl COUSINEAU. By the information on his death certificate, and contact with the cemetery, it would seem he died and was buried without any family being found, or any information known on his family state. I was unable to find a marriage for him in California - but he may have been married in another state before moving there. I would therefore like to try and see if there is a divorce record for him. Any information that might help would be most appreciated. Frances __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo! Music Experience http://launch.yahoo.com

Dear List Members, Can someone tell me what the nearest Roman Catholic church or churches would have been for the address of 517 So. Chicago St. in Los Angeles during the years of 1904-1930? Thanks! Carolyn

I would like the address of the Bell Garden, Alhambra Local Genealogical Societies, please. My mother passed away, and going through her things, I found pictures, school memorabilia of the Robert Louis Stevenson Junior High School, Summer 1931 and James A. Garfield High School for 1934. I would be glad to send all these treasures to any local Genealogical Society. Darlene De Witt, Inverness, FL

I agree. Deborah happened to have left off with "one" of my five requests, but does it matter right now? No, absolutely not! I certainly could stand to do more of ALL the things Lilly mentioned, as most of us could. We should be "inquiring" and "searching" more on our own about our ancestors and possible relations other than just asking for look-ups or what have you. Deborah has helped me once already (which has allowed me other avenues to pursue) and I certainly appreciate all she does for all of us. She happens to be the one and only (brave) soul doing look-ups on this list and she needs our patience and understanding at this time. I can wait. Peace be with you and yours Deborah.

Now is the time to post some names, read some websites, search some records, do some google searches, visit some websites, etc. Of course we could even staighten up our files and type out a couple of reports in the meantime. Goodluck to everyone researching and thank you Deborah for all the help you have given me personally. Bless you, Lillian Kathleen Martin > >

Some of the requests that I sent out before the price hike, came back as a computer print out of the same information. I really liked the copy of the actual form. So not expect to always have parent names listed. I received on and the woman was about 60 when she applied and the parent names were not on it. Crossed fingers that what you want is there, tho.

Deborah has done so much for me and all the others by looking up the DCT for us. Now she needs sometime to deal with an elderly loved one. We need to be patient and do some other area of research in the meantime. Now is the time to post some names, read some websites, search some records, do some google searches, visit some websites, etc. Of course we could even staighten up our files and type out a couple of reports in the meantime. Goodluck to everyone researching and thank you Deborah for all the help you have given me personally. Bless you, Lillian Kathleen Martin
