Hi! I've used the Social Secuity Administration to locate my father for me a few years ago. I sent an unsealed letter to my father explaining who I was and that my purpose in writing to him was for medical reasons. I inserted that stamped envelope into another envelope and mailed it to the S. S. Admin. where they would search and locate my father and mail my letter to him. It was then up to him to contact me if he so wished. Lucky for me he did!! Anyway, I'm trying to help a friend now and understand this is under the "freedom of information" act, if I remember correctly. However, I've failed to take not of the address that I sent my request to: Would this be : 6401 Security Blvd. Baltimore, Maryland, 21235 Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

>Hi all; >Seems that our transcriptionists want San Francisco County done as much as the rest of us. Currently in Transcription is Vol. 1, 2, 3, M, and P is just going out the door. There seems to be much confusion as to what records we are using. Some of them are death registers (just like the other counties) and some of them are Mortuary Registers. The mortuary registers give the same info that the death registers do. All registers are for the "City and County of San Francisco". > >The other counties are moving right along as well. Several more counties have their records ordered and a few more are in transcription. We have some of the smaller counties getting transcribed while we are working on the larger ones. We have gotten book two of Los Angeles County online this week and hope to have more of it online shortly. For an update on what is happening for any given county, take a look at the website <http://www.rootsweb.com/~cabf1905>. For those counties that are pending donations, look at the donor page and that will tell you which ones are open for sponsorship, funding and support. > >I would like to take a moment to thank the genealogical societies that are supporting us. Santa Barbara is funded and being transcribed by their genealogical society...all we had to do is supply the records for them. The Livermore-Amador Genealogical Society is funding and helping with the transcription in the Alameda County records. Those records have been ordered and should be in shortly. The Tehama County Gen. and Hist. Society has offered help in Tehema County and there are several others on the verge of coming through for their counties as well. > >For those of you that are considering volunteering for transcribing, there are a couple things that need to be understood. These records are over 100 years old and not always the easiest to read. They are hand written and some of them are in the older style of writing. This makes them more difficult. Also, some of the records don't copy really well. We do the best we can with what we have to make it easier. This is definitely a "Labor of Love" and those that are working on these deserve and extra pat on the back for what they are doing. Because some of the people have expected something simple to do, we have sent out some batches and then never heard from the volunteers again. If you volunteer and discover that you cannot follow through, this is not a problem, but please send the copies back to us as there are additional costs entailed in recopying the records. This can be saved. > >This is not to discourage those that wish to volunteer, but to educate them on what to expect. We have back up for what you cannot read and we help whenever we can or whenever you seem to be having a problem. Right now...we are lucky as some of the records (like the ones we are distributing right now) are extremely easy to read and transcribe. > >A special thanks goes to Steve Melton...our computer wiz, who has managed to stay on top of all the technical dealings with getting this online. He keeps the site updated weekly with periodic changes during the middle of that week. Steve, we love you and you are wonderful. > >Laura Melton, Steve's wife, has been keeping everything organized and sending out templates and instructions to all the new transcribers, as well as dealing with some of the other technical problems that have come up. In between reunions, baby showers and the like, we have managed to keep her pretty busy as well. Thank you Laura for all you do...which is way too much to even start to mention here. > >For all those that have helped to support this project, in addition to listing all of you on the donor page, I would like to say an additional "THANK YOU". Without you, this project could not come about. Between copies and postage, it is amazing how rapidly the costs add up. Donations can be sent to me. Full accountings are kept of all costs and income to the project. > >Well, will keep you updated on the new additions to the website as they come along. Thank you all for the good words, support and help. Till next week... > >Donna Bradley >Project Coordinator >P. O. Box 391368 >Anza, CA 92539-1368 > > >

San Pedro, Hawthorne, El Segundo, Torrance, Carson, PV, etc could be in The Daily Breeze. Torrance library starts around 1960 something and the Carson library goes back to about 1912.

Check the LDS library catalog. I found a few L.A. city directories listed. I'd guess you could order these films through your local LDS FHC. I plan to look at the films when I go to Salt Lake in the summer. Also, you could check the Sutro LIbrary web site to see what they have for directories. Joanne Joanne A.

I am looking for descendants of this family. Any help would be appreciated. (Ethan Allen is his father ) Milo ALLEN was born on 13 Nov 1837. Milo married Janet FRENCH in Jul 1888. They had the following children: M i Ethan ALLEN was born in Apr 1889. He died in 1890. M ii Fielding ALLEN was born in Jul 1891. He died in Apr 1892 in Whittier, Los Angeles County, California . M iii Robert ALLEN was born on 7 Aug 1896. He died after 1950 in Whittier, Los Angeles County, California .

Regarding an obit, "Elaine Sharp" <bellemarco@hotmail.com> wrote in part: > Can anyone tell me what newspaper I should look this up in? > His relative tells me he lived in Wilmington area. In L.A. County, always, always, always, always shoot for a local paper first, NOT the L.A. Times. L.A. is a megalopolis, and your chance of finding an obit in the Times is about one in a thousand. Wilmington is part of the L.A. harbor area, along with San Pedro. Your best bet for a Wilmington-area obit is probably a local San Pedro newspaper. San Pedro has had its own newspapers forever. (Note that both cities were long ago absorbed by the City of Los Angeles.) Off the top, I believe that the San Pedro paper is now the News-Pilot. However, I sort of recall that there has been some corporate gobbling involved, and so the papers south of here have been switched around. You are looking for a 1959 paper, and a lot of mischief may have been done since then. Therefore, you should check the National Union List of old newspapers to be sure which San Pedro (or even Wilmington) paper was in business back then. Just go to any fair-to-middlin' public library anywhere in the U.S. and ask the reference librarian for the Union List. Two warnings: 1) There is an imitation on the web -- AVOID IT; it is highly inadequate; and 2) L.A. being as chaotic as it is, L.A. newspapers are often listed chaotically in the Union List. "San Pedro" might appear as its own "city" or as a part of the City of Los Angeles. (And check "Wilmington" while you're at it, seeing as how 1959 was so long ago.) Again, off the top, without looking, I think your starting place might be the News-Pilot. You can search on www.google.com for San Pedro News Pilot and see if they have a page, and if they do you might contact them to see what was what in 1959. San Pedro also has its own historical society, and you can no doubt find them using www.google.com as well and ask them. According to my South Bay paper, the Wilmington Historical Society is at www.lafn.org/community/whs. You ARE going to find a local paper down there; the only question is, Which one? (I do not have any web access from home here, so I can't check any of this for you.) Lester ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
