Carolyn, What is AUTRAND's first name? Possible connections? I have 1) Joseph J. ATURAND, w/wife Carmen living in Madera 1928-29 Directory, as watchman at 815 From Street. 2)Jack AUTRAND W/wife Carolyn, employee PG&E, lives 1832 Paul Ave. Madera Dir. in 1964. No AUTRANDS in Merced 1928-29, but presently a half dozen families listed. Do you have a Merced telephone Directory? I take it you found him in the 1894 Great Reg. in Madera. I have Thomas AUTRAND in the 1900 CENSUS I am transcribing along with Ken and Norma. From: Madera Co Census 1900 Perhaps Joseph's son and his family. Autrand, Thomas - Autrand, Josie - Autrand, Thomas B. - Autrand, Joseph C. - Autrand, John A.Autrand , -Lola Autrand, - P?Autrand, L?-- Would the complete listing help? It is not up yet on the net as it is very slow typing. I'll ask around and see if there are any AUTRAND's still here and if there is a Mariposa connection. I think Norma mentioned them the other day. We are on the track of the Madera naturalization papers--they may do us all some good if we can find them. The Co. Clerk says she gave them to the Superior Judge? He is looking for them for us.

Looking for his naturalization -(Mel will be looking for this) and any other information- There is some references on the Madera site that they have already found. the researcher writes: We know that are ggreat-grandfather settled in Mariposa County, California, between 1852-1854. He came from France with his 4 years old son Thomas A. Autrand. We actually do not have much information about our ggreat-grandfather and we are trying to find out which part of France he came from " If you happen upon anything for this name please let me know.
