I've "rescued" an old photograph of W. C. and Laura E. SIMPSON which was taken at the Burt Hodson Studio in Sacramento or Oakland, CA. The photograph is dated 25 Dec 1914 and includes their two oldest children, a daughter and younger son (believed to be Ethel Frances and William L. SIMPSON). The photograph includes a message on the back "A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year" which was given to Mr. & Mrs. H. HURTER. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this family: Rev. William Carl or Carrel SIMPSON was b. 19 Feb 1873 in Santa Paula, CA to parents William Malachi E. SIMPSON (1844-1910 or 1919) and Emily Francis or Frances BROWN (1853 or 1854-1928). William was one of 7 children born to this couple including, Estella Viola; William Carrel; Mildred Eunice; Ella Emily; Ida L.; Belle Rachael; and Zilfa or Zilpha SIMPSON, all born between 1871 and 1883. He married Laura Effie or A. ALLBRIGHT (1886-1969) and he died 13 Nov 1949 in Sacramento, CA and is buried in the East Lawn Memorial Park in Sacramento, CA. Laura Effie or A. ALLBRIGHT was b. 11 Feb 1886 in Nebraska to parents John William ALLBRIGHT or ALBRIGHT (1840-1910) and Esther Virginia HARLAN (1853-1913). Laura was one of three children born to this couple, she had two sisters, Lois ALLBRIGHT (b, 1882) and Mary Reese ALLBRIGHT (1884-1960). William and his first wife Sarah Virginia SANDERS (1841-1880) also had three children including, George W.; Mary Virginia; and Elizabeth ALLBRIGHT all born between 1860 and 1866. Laura married William Carl SIMPSON and she died 15 May 1969 in Sacramento, CA and is buried in the East Lawn Memorial Park in Sacramento, CA. Ethel Frances SIMPSON was b. 18 Nov 1905 in California and married Ernest Norman HEARST (1904-1994) and she died 11 Sept 1997 in Sacramento, CA and is buried in the Colfax Cemetery in Colfax, CA. William L. SIMPSON was b. abt 1912 in California to parents William Carl SIMPSON and Laura Effie SIMPSON. William was one of 4 children born to this couple including, Ethel Frances; William L.; Burton Edward; and Evangeline E. SIMPSON all born between 1906 and 1921. William died 30 Sept 1921 in Santa Cruz Co., CA.

FROM: Suzanne Winsor Freeman Grant Committee, Denise May Levenick, Chair [email protected] Lise Harding, SCGS Jamboree [email protected] *February 10, 2016* *For IMMEDIATE RELEASE* *Student Genealogy Grant Applications Invited* *The Suzanne Winsor Freeman Memorial Student Genealogy Grant Committee and the Southern California Genealogical Society Jamboree are pleased to announce the 2016 Student Grant and Jamboree Scholarship. Student genealogists between the ages of 18 and 23 are eligible to apply for the $500 cash award and full registration scholarship for the 2016 SCGS Jamboree to be held in Burbank, California June 3-5, 2016.* The Student Grant was established in 2010 by family and friends in memory of Suzanne Winsor Freeman, family historian and life-long volunteer, and an enthusiastic annual attendee at the SCGS Jamboree. The 2016 Southern California Genealogy Jamboree <http://www.scgsgenealogy.com/Jamboree/> sponsored by the Southern California Genealogical Society will provide a full conference registration to the SCGS Jamboree in June where the award will be presented. This is a unique opportunity for a young genealogist to attend a premiere regional conference and meet genealogists from throughout the nation. Past recipients include Elyse Doerflinger (Lomita, California), A.C. Ivory (Salt Lake City, Utah), Anthony Ray (Palmdale, California), Michael Savoca (Toms River, New Jersey), and Paul Woodbury (Provo, Utah). “The Student Genealogy Grant pays tribute to Suzanne Freeman’s dedication to youth volunteerism and family history by awarding the annual cash grant to a young genealogist attending the SCGS Annual Genealogy Jamboree, Southern California’s premiere regional genealogy conference,” notes Denise Levenick, committee chair and Freeman’s daughter. “We are especially grateful to Jamboree for providing a three-day conference registration to the grant recipient,” she adds. “SCGS is truly a leader in conference organizations by encouraging youth involvement in genealogy through the student conference scholarship.” Born in Olathe, Kansas, Suzanne Winsor (Brown) Freeman moved to Orange County, California with her family in the early 1930s where she attended school and lived most of her life. She developed a strong interest in family history sparked by the stories of her mother’s early life in Colorado and Kansas. After retirement Suzanne moved to Green Valley, Arizona where she was active in the local genealogy society. She enjoyed returning to Southern California each year in June to attend the SCGS Jamboree. Suzanne passed away after a brief illness in Tucson, Arizona August 28, 2010. The $500 cash award pays tribute to these interests by awarding the annual cash grant to a young genealogist attending the Jamboree. In addition, a student scholarship for conference registration to the Annual Southern California Genealogy Jamboree will be provided by the Jamboree conference. Any genealogist who is between the ages of 18 and 23 as of June 2, 2016 and a current student (full-time or part-time) is eligible to apply. The award will be presented at the Jamboree Scholarship Breakfast Sunday, June 5, 2016; the recipient must be present to receive the award. See the Grant Application for eligibility details. Funding for the cash award is provided by the family grant program; Jamboree registration is provided by the conference. Individual contributions to the grant program are welcome at the Student Grant Webpage <http://www.thefamilycurator.com/swf-grant/>. *Application deadline is March 20, 2016 midnight Pacific Daylight Time.* Application details and forms are available at the Student Grant Webpage <http://www.thefamilycurator.com/swf-grant/> http://www.thefamilycurator.com/swf-grant.

Hi All, Can someone help me to decipher a street name in the 1940 census for Auburn ? It looks like Sinsal?? Way and comes between Pine Street and Placer Road. Also, I'm interested in a person living there named Douglas GOULD. He was born in 1924, so may still be alive. If anyone knows of him or his family, could they contact me off-list, in case they are still living. Best wishes, Mike Gould Leicestershire, England

I think it is Lincoln Way. It looks like there are two houses with the same street number. Douglas rented one. The other was owned by a Dr. Conrad Briner.

The Southern California Genealogical Society has released the schedule of live-streamed sessions that will be available FREE at the Southern California Genealogy Jamboree June 6-8, 2014. A total of 14 free sessions will be streamed over the three days of Jamboree. The sessions are open to the public and can be attended by anyone with a broadband Internet connection. The list of classes and speakers can be found at http://www.scgsgenealogy.com/Jamboree/2014/LiveStream.html. "The sessions span all experience levels and a wide range of topics," explained Leo Myers, Jamboree co-chair. "The speakers are among the most knowledgeable and respected instructors in genealogy today, and we are so grateful that they have agreed to share their knowledge with family historians around the world." The live streaming is sponsored in part by Jamboree's diamond sponsor, Ancestry.com. Many of the streamed sessions will eventually be accessible to SCGS members in the webinar archive, which holds more than 100 hours of instructional videos that are available on demand to members of the society. In addition, five live-streamed sessions will be available for viewing from the Family History and DNA: Genetic Genealogy in 2014 conference on Thursday, June 5. Because that event is produced by ISOGG and SCGS and it does not accept financial support, the live-streamed sessions are available on a pay-for-view basis. An All-Day Pass is also offered.

He will give several other presentations throughout Thursday and at Jamboree as well. We know that those with Irish descent will find Dr. Gleeson's presentations of great interest. ISOGG leadership is well represented among the faculty. Katherine Borges, CeCe Moore, Blaine Bettinger, Tim Janzen, MD; Kathy Johnston, MD; Bonny Cook, and Alice Fairhurst will all be making one or more presentations on Thursday.

Personal and small-group assistance will be available on Friday morning, June 6th, as part of the Jamboree Genealogy World event.

Please come join us! Thursday, April 10, 2014 Root Cellar Genealogical Society Membership Meeting 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm - Christ Community Church, 5025 Manzanita Avenue, Carmichael *** Main Meeting – “Practical Tips for Planning an On-Site Research Trip” Presented by Pam Brett. Pam Brett has been interested in genealogy for nearly forty years since she began filling in the family tree of her first-born child's baby book. Raising two daughters and working as a public health social worker left little free time until 1999 when she began her family research in earnest. Brett's ancestors were mobile which led to research in thirty-one states and the District of Columbia. She loves doing on-site research in the States "where there are many challenges but the rewards are priceless." *** 6:15 – 7:00 Pre-meeting Open discussion – Each table will be dedicated to several U.S. states. Share tips, information, problems and solutions with fellow genealogists researching in the same region.
