Hello Mary, As for your questions on Albert Johnson I really do know a lot on him but there are a few key pieces I have NOT been able to find which I know would help with finding his parents. On every record (census, voter reg., and death record) it lists him as being born in Racine, WI - March 29, 1859. I have tried for a birth record in WI but was told they didn't keep records at that time. Although I did find a local lady that gave me some insight that I might try. Also ALL family stories say his father or mother was from Swedish Royalty and when they found out they Americanized the name they weren't too happy. Here's the Boys I know are his brothers that go on to live with Albert later and even work for him. Albert Johnson b. 1859 WI d. April 11, 1911 Charles G. Johnson 1863 b. CA Still looking for death date (1920-1930 time period) Did not marry John D. Johnson 1863 (Dec. 14, 1863) These two maybe twins B. CA d. 1905 father is listed and Peter and mother is listed as Josephine Did not marry The only Albert I could find that made since in early in CA Census was in 1870, Albert living with Peter & Josephine Johnson along with a Carl and John and a few more children which I think may die. By 1880 It lists Peter married but no wife (we did find a Josephine in Napa State Hospital the same age and being born in Sweden) we are not sure if this is her and have had no luck getting more info. I have Albert in almost every City Directory since 1880 until he dies in 1911. All his children's' records list their father being born in WI. I have tried so hard to find Albert and his wife Mary McLaughlin's marriage record in SF but honestly am sick of getting the NO RECORDs letters back from the churches. I know they were married around mid 1880-1881 because they have there first girl in 1882. They were a big Catholic family that had 11 children and lived on Chenery Street and ran a small Saloon and Grocery store. At this point any small detail is what will move this search forward. I'm surprised I have not been able to find a newspaper with a Marriage for Albert Johnson & Mary McLaughlin or mention of a baby (or babies) being born Dec. 14, 1863/64. More than looking for Albert since I have posted a lot about him I was really am trying to find more about the John Johnson who died April 18, 1860. Since the stories always talked about a remarriage I was thinking this story sort of fits. A father (John Johnson falls off roof and leaves a wife and child). I'm really looking for another OBIT from a SF paper if possible that might list more. Any one who says they all say the same DON'T believe it, I have found otherwise! Unfortunately the Census for 1860 was taken in August so he won't be listed and I have had no luck finding a Albert that fits. They may have gone away??? Any help or ideas? Thanks, Cathie

Hi, Cathie. Do you know in what county in Wisconsin Albert was born? If your Albert is the one enumerated with wife Mary (and several children) in San Francisco in 1900, the census indicates that he was born in March 1860 in Wisconsin. If that is accurate, then Albert and his mother would have almost certainly still been in Wisconsin at the time John JOHNSON of San Francisco died in April 1860. I see an Albert JOHNSON born c1859 enumerated with Peter and Josephine in 1870, but his birthplace is listed as California, not Wisconsin. This could be a mistake by the enumerator or whoever was providing information, but the discrepancy should be duly noted as possible evidence that this is not the correct Albert JOHNSON. You mentioned that Albert's death record indicates his father's name; was any information (even "not known") entered for his mother's name? Was the informant someone who "should" have known his mother's name? Do you already have Albert's marriage record? They sometimes indicate parents' names; sometimes siblings were witnesses to marriages, and finding a certain sibling's name with Albert's in a household in an 1860 or 1870 census would suggest a stronger likelihood that it is the right household. Do you know names of any certain siblings for Albert JOHNSON?

J.S. HOLLIDAY: 1924-2006 Passionate historian of California Carl Nolte, Chronicle Staff Writer Saturday, September 2, 2006 J.S. Holliday, one of the most eminent historians of California and the West, died at his home in Carmel on Thursday at the age of 82. He had been suffering from pulmonary fibrosis. Holliday was the author of "The World Rushed In," a history of the California Gold Rush that was a best-seller when it was published in 1981; it went through 13 printings, and a new edition was reissued recently by the University of Oklahoma Press. Kevin Starr, another noted historian of the West, called "The World Rushed In" "a classic." If it were only for the one book, Holliday's reputation as a historian would be secure, but he was also the founding director of the Oakland Museum of California and executive director emeritus of the California Historical Society, taught history at San Francisco State University, and served for a time as assistant director of the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley. He also lectured, appeared on television and wrote articles on history. "No one writes better about California's irresistible past,'' said Ken Burns, the television documentary expert. "I am a huge fan.'' "He was a towering figure in California history,'' said Gary Kurutz, principal librarian for special collections at the California State Library. "His death is a real loss.'' Holliday was born Jaquelin Smith Holliday II, June 10, 1924, in Indianapolis. His family was in the steel business, and young J.S. Holliday attended private schools. He seldom used his given name. His friends called him "Jim." Holliday attended midshipman school at Northwestern University during World War II and served in the U.S. Navy as an officer aboard an escort aircraft carrier in the Pacific. He attended Yale University and graduated with a degree in history in 1948. At Yale, one of his teachers brought to his attention letters and a diary written by a man named William Swain, who set out from Michigan in 1849 with a group of adventurers called the Wolverine Rangers to make his fortune in far-off California. In Swain, Holliday found his own mother lode. Swain's letters and diary -- his adventures traveling across the Great Plains, down the dreary Humboldt River in Nevada, his trek across the Black Rock Desert, his life in the California Gold Country -- were the basis for "The World Rushed In.'' Holliday often said that the story of the Gold Rush -- which he said was the greatest peacetime mass migration in history -- brought him to California. He moved West in 1949, on the 100th anniversary of the Gold Rush. "I came here for gold and found other ways of seeking success in California,'' he said. He got a doctorate in history from UC Berkeley in 1958 and a research fellowship at the Huntington Library, then worked at the Bancroft and taught at San Francisco State. By then he had a considerable reputation as a forceful and vigorous exponent of his views of history. "He was one of the most vital people I ever knew," said Joe Illick, who served with him on the faculty at San Francisco State. He was "a big, handsome, rumpled man with a passion for the rugged life,'' The Chronicle said of him when he had become well known. Early in his career, however, Holliday's passion for history did not always go down well with more sedate custodians of the state's past. In 1967, he was named the founding director of what later became the much-praised Oakland Museum of California. However, he was so forceful and uncompromising in his views that he was fired just before the museum opened in 1969. He then became executive director of the California Historical Society and organized a series of major traveling exhibitions, including one about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. "It caused quite a stir,'' said David Crossen, the current executive director of the society. "People in historical societies didn't deal with issues like that back then. He was a model for the young Turks in historical organizations.'' Holliday served two terms in the top job at the California Historical Society. However, he always came back to the Gold Rush book. He felt the 1849 Gold Rush was a seminal event in the state's history that, in his words, "changed California, changed the whole West and changed America's sense of itself.'' He wanted to present it in human terms, to make the lives of the long-dead Forty-Niners come alive. It took him 30 years to write. "He was such a careful writer that it sometimes took him a week to get two paragraphs right,'' said Kurutz. "He was as thorough as can be.'' The result was what Starr called "a masterly narrative.'' The book won the Silver Medal of the Commonwealth Club of California and the Oscar Lewis Award for Achievement in Western History from the Book Club of California. In 1999, Holliday wrote "Rush for Riches: Gold Fever and the Making of California," which also received critical acclaim. Holliday was married twice. His first marriage, to Nancy Adams, ended in divorce. He was married to Belinda Vidor Jones in 1983, and she survives him. He also leaves three children: Timothy Holliday of New Orleans, Martha Brett Holliday of Farmington, Conn., and W.J. Holliday of Menlo Park. A memorial service is pending. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
