http://www.sfgenealogy.com/boards/sfmemory/messages/177.html http://www.sfgenealogy.com Picking just one winner went beyond hard. All entries proved that San Francisco leaves lasting impressions, especially for those of us with genealogical links to her as well as our own recollections. They were great memories of our waterside attractions of the past. It's not surprising that the Ocean Beach / Lands End are garnered most of the mentions but of course the Embarcadero and old Fisherman's Wharf were remembered as well. We decided three entries deserved special recognition, the first two below tied for first place. The three entries were: Posted by Raymond Tompkins - A most difficult decision to try and condense almost eighteen years of youthful exuberance into a favorite time and place. Frolicking in the Pacific Ocean, Playland at the Beach, Sutro's, fishing off of Muni Pier and the other pier's along the Bay. Hmmmm. I guess it would have to be the Pacific Ocean when I was about 5-6 years old in 1944-45. We lived on 43rd Avenue, 1758 to be exact, between Noriega and Ortega, and there were still a lot of vacant lots and sand dunes. Places for a youngster to roam about. We, my friends and I, would walk down to the beach just to jump in the water, look for shells, especially dollar shells, watch the water reseed and try and dig up the shell fish where they left indentations in the sand. I remember the barbed wire on the beach and seeing soldiers now and then. But we were young and playful and full of fun. We could walk all the way to Playland without a care. Chase seagulls. Watch the fishermen with their long rods and huge reels. One of the more interesting excursions happened around Sutro's. Someone said there were guns on the hill overlooking Sutro's. So, up we went, climbing the hill, oblivious to the danger below. However, I remember looking down and certainly having second thoughts. Once at the top, we were disappointed. No guns! And, finding out we could have walked around the corner and not had to climb up the steep, sand and rock hill. The carefree days of my childhood and many days playing on the sand and in the water of the blue Pacific. Posted by Donna Dale Elliott - San Francisco's Ocean Beach is my absolute favorite waterside. It was across from "Play Land at the Beach". The Beach is still there, Play Land is just a fun memory. As a child my family went to Ocean Beach all of the time. The beach was clean then with lots of sand dollars and sea shells and at certain times of the year lots of creepy seaweed. My parents were young and from the mid-west and found they loved the Ocean and taking their three children to run on the beach several times a month. When our Midwestern relatives came to San Francisco to visit the Ocean was the first place they wanted to go; they were always amazed at its greatness. I collected seashells, unbroken Sand Dollars, beach glass and rocks; I kept my collection in several cigar boxes. I loved that I could see the Cliff House from where we frolicked. As a teenager summer days at Ocean Beach hanging with my friends, laying in the sun getting tanned with my own super suntan oil (baby oil with iodine in it). Watching the sunsets; Beach parties at night always with a big bond fire blazing. We always had so much fun. When life would get too overwhelming, decisions having to be made, just thinking about life and what it had to hold. I would bundle up in a heavy coat, tie a scarf on my head to keep warm on a cold, foggy morning and set out to walk along the Ocean Beach the surf crashing, the white caps high and strong and beautiful. It seemed the colder it was and the louder the crashing the easier it was to think. I continue my love of Ocean Beach sharing it with my children, grandchildren and yes, my little great granddaughter. My relatives that come to visit still make sure that the first place I take them is to see the ocean. I still walk at Ocean Beach but now only on warm sunny days. I no longer bundle up to walk on cold foggy mornings to think. Now when I need to think, I bundle up bring a hot cup of coffee and sit in my car to watch the whitecaps crashing against the beach. The louder the crashing the easier it is to think. Posted by Donna Madrid - My favorite waterside spot is the Embarcadero area with a view of Alcatraz. Sailing out of the City last January at dusk, I looked at Alcatraz and was struck by the beautiful shades of blue in the water, the island and the sky at that time of evening. As I watched Alcatraz's lighthouse flashing it's guiding light, I reflected on my ancestors. As a 5th generation San Franciscan, my ancestors arrived here in 1864, just 10 years after California's first lighthouse was built, here on Alcatraz. "Our" lighthouse was now guiding me safely OUT of the bay as it had guided my ancestors INTO the bay those 142 years ago! Raymond Tompkins and Donna Dale Elliott will each receive signed copies of San Francisco's Lost Landmarks and a prepaid search on Researchity at http://www.researchity.com/. Donna Madrid will receive a signed copy of San Francisco's Lost Landmarks. Thanks to all for all your fine entries. We'll definitely need to do this again. If you haven't read all the entries yet, please do so. Folks put a lot of thought into them and they're a a fun walk around the City's waterside. Jim -- James R.

Hi Nancy, The fire destroyed the records of the Superior Court where divorces proceedings took place. However, all is not lost. Divorces were listed in the city newspapers so if you know about when it happened, you could thumb through. Beyond that, in Nancy S. Peterson's Raking the Ashes, she states that some newspapers printed a compiled alphabetical summary of divorces at year end that included surnames and grounds - but not the date. She has a list of some of those from 1856 to 1892. At least you would have the year and grounds if these were done for 1904 and 1904. This book is gold.

Like most of us, I have been searching for my family pre-1906 genealogy information for years. It has been very frustrating. It's so difficult sometime, not knowing what information is available and where to find it. Recently, I purchased Nancy Peterson's book "Raking the Ashes," Genealogical Strategies for Pre-1906 San Francisco Research. It is a vertual goldmine of information. Not only does she tell you where those elusive facts you have been researching can be found, but she also tells you what is not available. You name it, Nancy Peterson tells you where to find it. I've never met her, but I am deeply grateful to her for this great resouce and all of her hard work that produced it.. Sincerly, Lorelie Fulwider

By any chance would it contain April 1904-1905 divorce records, or should I just consider such things to have become ashes in 1906? Nancy

Whoops...didn't mean to add my name to the wonderful story by Raymond....I just wanted to ask him where he went to school? Would it have been Uloa(sp)? I lived on 46th ave during the same period.

David Vernon inquired about how to go about examining early San Francisco Catholic records. This is going to be time consuming unless by using city directories and a map you can pinpoint the location of residence of the family in question. Those same directories (in the front or the back) will provide the addresses of the churches. The records that survived the earthquake and fire are on film at the archives of the Catholic Archdiocese, located in Menlo Park at 320 Middlefield ®oad in the basement of St. Pat's Seminary. The archivist is Jeff Burns, and you must make an appointment to look at them by calling (650) 328-6502. Records for defunct churches are either at another existing church or at the Archdiocese office at 445 Church Street in San Francisco. Only those for St. Ignatius and St. Patrick's were totally lost. To determine what records survived for what churches and the years they cover, see pp. 32 and 33 of "Raking the Ashes: Genealogical Strategies for Pre-1906 San Francisco Research". There are desk copies at San Francisco Public Library or you can purchase one through the California Genealogical Society at www.calgensoc.org. This guide will help with most pre-earthquake records.

I would like to search the sacramental records for the Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco. Besides the Archdiocese are there any public libraries, genealogy societies or organizations that have the collection of records? I’m not certain what parish I need to search so I may need to search all parishes for a particular time period, 1880 – 1900. Also, while I was researching in another city I found a website and database for all burials in Catholic cemeteries for that city. Does anyone know if a website and database such as this exists for San Francisco? Thank you. David

Ron & Pam said I get to judge this contest. Too cool! Some great postings - It'll be hard. Let's close it at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow (7/14/06).

Had the Bancroft Library, I found a small booklet, on Kern County, that told how great it was to live and farm in Kern County. It was printed by the Sunset Magazine Homeseekrs' Bureau, in San Francisco, in 1910. The Bancroft got it from the California Development Board, which was either headquartered or had a office in the Ferry Building, was wondering if anyone has heard of the California Development Board?
