Please contact me quickly if you have this woman in your family. Or, if you know the children of Major "Pancho" J. F. Guirado who served in the First Battallion of the Native Calvary of California in the Civil War, please contact me. I'm unable to find Louisa in any census other than the 1900 after she has married Max Schwed, but I'm pretty sure the spelling of her last name is close to Guirado. The 1900 Los Angeles census has: Schwed, Max head w m Jan 1853 47 M 21 Ger Ger Ger Merchant Schwed, Louisa wife w f May 1842 58 M 21 Cal Mex Mex Schwed, David son w m Jan 1880 19 S Cal Ger Cal Schwed, Emma dau w f May 1883 17 S Cal Ger Cal Pozonena?, Nievas gdau w f Dec 1886 16 Cal Cal Cal Emma graduated from Sacred Heart in 1899. Louisa probably died 10/13/1913. David may have died in 1910. In 1898 the Schweds lived at 2713 East 1st Street and Max had two brothers living in New Jersey.
