Okay - I did a search on EURICH and EURICK from 1920-1930 and the only article it pulls up is the marriage of Anna Eurich, 23 (or 25 the type is really bad) to John Kasko, 23 on Jan 30, 1927 - maybe Cindy can find him.   --- On Tue, 8/12/08, Nancy <[email protected]> wrote: From: Nancy <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CALOSANG] EURICH To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, August 12, 2008, 4:54 PM Cindy, Julie, and anyone else...

Hi, Has anyone done research on the Dean family? Rufus Marion Dean died in Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, 13 Jan 1935. His wife, Mary Elizabeth (Molly) NOBLE died in Los Angeles County, California, 11 May 1955. Their son, William Stanley, died in Los Angeles County, California, 19 May 1957.  There also was a son, George, who was in the U.S. Navy in 1920 and a daughter, Marion. THX

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Carl PIKE which was taken at the Alton Studio in Sun Luis Obispo, California. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with Carl appearing to be 1-2 years old at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Carl and his family: Carl Albert PIKE b. 28 Nov 1906 in CA, Mother's maiden name ERICKSON, Carl died 6 Feb 1989 in Los Angeles, CA at the age of 82 years. Census records provide the following information: 1910 census of Paso Robles Township, CA: Chester S. PIKE, age 26, married 6 years, born IA, parents born VT/KS, a Farmer Ester PIKE, wife, age 26, married 6 years, 3 children/3 living, born MN, parents born Sweden Eva M. PIKE, dau, age 5, born CA Carl A. PIKE, son, age 3, born CA Frances PIKE, dau, age 1 year and 6 months, born CA 1920 census of Los Angeles, CA: Chester S.

If you are a member of this PIKE Family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I must respectfully say that you are incorrect about the notary part.  I have ordered at least 20 DCT's from L.A.

I order quite a few death certificates from Los Angeles County. I don't use the forms, but send a letter which states that I am requesting an 'informational only' copy for family history purposes.

I was there too. Hynda Rudd's passion for the preservation of Los Angeles history and these archived materials was very clear. Below is another event coming up in October at USC which is dedicated to Los Angeles Archives and resource: The 3rd Annual Archives Bazaar. http://www.usc.edu/libraries/archives/arc/lasubject/index.html Approx. 70 archival organizations displaying rare materials and aspects of their collections devoted to preserving, documenting, and providing access to historical resources on the Los Angeles region.

Did anyone else attend the lecture today by Hynda Rudd, sponsored by the Los Angeles Historical Society? I'm so glad I was there. Hynda Rudd was the first archivist for the City of Los Angeles. She came to Los Angeles from Utah in 1978 (another printout says 1880 - will have to confirm). She says she had 130 years of back-log when she assumed her position. I'm reading from my hastily scribbled notes (I'm blonde this week, so forgot that I had a tape-recorder in my purse): The oldest document in the archives is a letter written by Hilario Machado in 1827. Framed, and on display, in the administrative office of the Archives is the original deed to Griffith Park, signed by G. J. Griffith. 12,000 sq. ft. of the Records Center (at 555 Ramirez Street) is dedicated to the Archives - on the Third Floor. Every Minute Book from 1850 is at the Archives. The oldest document on file is a letter, dated 1827, and written by Hilario Machado. A large collection of Abel Stearns' documents are on file and have never been translated / transcribed. (This one blew me away!) The 1828 - 1848 Mexican Minute Books (sic) are in the Archives (I think these are the minutes of the council meetings) Map of the 'first cemetery.' I believe I saw names on the plots. I may be wrong and I should have asked. This is not the Sisters of Mercy Cemetery or the Jewish Cemetery. There is a book or books: Honor Roll of WWII Los Angeles military men - photos, names and other information. Oh, also a book of arrestees, with pictures and crimes - but I didn't write down the dates. They looked liked 1880's to me.
