The Church Headquarters, in Salt Lake City, have finally made the first OFFICIAL announcement about the FamilySearch® Internet Genealogy Service. There has been much speculation & many erronious posts to various places on the Internet about this but now you can read the OFFICIAL announcement on the Church website. This announcement can be viewed at http://lds.org/en/4_News_Update/19990304_FIGS.html . To verify it is an offical LDS website announcement, choose any of the choices from the task bar shown & you can get back to the homepage. There is also a logo displayed with the Church name visible. Memos to Family History Center Directors were sent out about a month ago so we did not know "officially" about this until then either. Also, this does not specify what services will be available nor does the FHC memo. We will just have to wait & see. Bonnie F. fava@budsters.com
I could do a California Death Index (CADI) lookup for you after 1940 and then you would have the exact date of death and location making it easier for someone to search for an obituary for you.

If you don't have the exact date of death on James Francis I could check the California Death Index (CADI) for you, after 1940. Then someone might be able to find an obituary for you.

A member asked me if I had a bibliography on the Sanchez File. I've just added it to my home page; newspapers 1852-1900, books, county records etc. Most of the locations for newspapers were at the State Library and libraries at Salinas, Santa Cruz, Watsonville, and UC Irvine. Bill http://www.americahurrah.com/ Select Sanchez File: Bibliography
I have a view book of San Francisco scenes published in 1906. There are no EQ photos so it shows SF as it looked on April 17, 1906. Very nostalgic. Go to my home page and select VIEWS 1905. Bill http://www.americahurrah.com/
Although I know a lot about her children with George W. Crane, died 1868, (my ggf) and I know a little about her children with Jose Maria Sanchez, died 1853, and Dr Henry Sanford, died 1855, I know nothing about the descendants of the last two husbands. Does anyone know of the Sanchez lineage in Monterey and San Benito counties? Or Sanford? The years are from census reports I've studied. 1860 Maria Vicenta Sanchez and Daniel Willson 1860 Refugia Sanchez and Thomas McKnight 1870 Candelaria Sanchez and George Castro 1870 Guadalupe Sanchez and James Roche 1870 Jose Gregorio Sanchez and Margaret Breen And 1870 J. S. Breen and Fidella Sanford I've always felt sorry for Fidella. Her father was murdered at the Washington Hotel in Monterey and as a child she had to live with all those rich Sanchez children who probably spoke more Spanish than English. I know their mother spoke little English. Bill
The San Juan Bautista State Historic Park has published a set of ten postcards with early day views of the Mission, the Castro Adobe, the Plaza Hotel, the Stable, the 1880 Volunteer Fire Department and others. They are great photos of early day life. I've given them some space on my home page until they get a site. All cards are being shown on the web for the first time. They will take mail orders. Go to http://www.americahurrah.com/ Select San Juan Bautista postcards. Tnx Bill
Yes, Prunedale is in the northern part of Monterey County. Highway 101 bisects the area of rolling hills known as Prunedale just before Salinas. There are at least two newspapers in which the obituary would have appeared--The Monterey County Herald (published in Monterey) and The Californian (published in Salinas). I have old copies of The Herald stored in a shed but it will take me some time before I have a chance to sort through them. I would suggest contacting the newspapers directly since the obituary is a fairly recent one. The Californian, 123 West Alisal Street, Salinas, CA 93901 General Information: 1-831-424-2221 The Monterey County Herald, 8 Upper Ragsdale Road, Monterey, CA 93940 General Offices: 1-831-372-3311 Good luck, Anita BETTI212@aol.com wrote: > > > Is Prunedale, Calif. in your county.

The weather is just beginning to be spring. The poppies have not yet started to bloom, nor have I seen any lupines yet. The ornamental cherries are going strong, but the wild flowers are just now recovering from the severe frosts we had this year. They're all growing nicely but have not started blooming along highway 68. I just heard today that the Carmel Valley didn't get the same severe frost. I don't know about Soledad. I'll let you know when I start seeing wild flowers along Highway 68. Anita Richard H.

Hi To all on a beautiful day in the SF area, Please forgive the off-topic topic, but - - Each year my parents enjoy being driven down the Carmel Valley road, south thru the hills and over to Soledad to see the wildflowers. But I have the constant dilemma of "when are they in full bloom???" And usually hit it either too early or too late. Can anyone suggest a site that might have that info? Or does anyone on the List live down that way? Many thanks for any suggestions. Regards, Carolyn Carter Johnson (mailto:rhunterg@ix.netcom.com)
