Hello, I was wondering if anyone may have access to a better copy of a Census page than on Ancestry.com. I've been trying to read this one on Ancestry and can't really see anything. I'm not sure how they even transcribed it. If anyone has a better copy I'd love to see it, as this could be a link to some good info on this 1900 Census for my gggf. 1900 Census - CA Solano , Maine Praire District 142 Line #4 John McLaughlin Thanks to Anyone that can help me with this!!! :) Cathie

Kustel was the family name. My GGgma was Agnes Buchwald Kustel - she married Wm Brown and bore Celia Brown in 1859.

George, My GG gfer was lost at sea bringing a group of Walechian miners to California around 1854. His widow remarried prior to 1860. I am hoping to find some tracks. I had a great-uncle lost at sea a bit later. His will was probated in San Francisco in 1884. This was a family of four brothers that were ship captains/masters and there may have been some indications of there comings and goings in the local press. I was able to find four newspaper articles about them so far. And then, I like reading old newspapers just to get a feel for the era. Hope springs eternal in the heart of the optimist.

The San Francisco Public Library - History Center today took possession of the mortuary records for these firms: Halsted & Co., N. Gray & Co., Gantner-Felder-Kenny, Godeau, and H.F. Suhr. These are pre-1920 records, with some for N. Gray going back to 1850. Some of these have indexes too. Of course, records between 1920 and 1985 are available from those nice folks over at researchity.com who are swimming in records. Halsted N. Gray-Carew & English have kept most of the current records for Halsted and N. Gray. Ron Filion sfgenealogy.com

Is the San Francisco CALL available on microfilm somewhere in the range of 1853 - 1855? Mike in WA

I found marriage information about my family in SF at http://cefha.org/usa/ca/sf/sfcall/sfcalli.html. It cost me a small fee to get a copy of the 1883 SF Call marriage announcement, but it was well worth it. I was eventually able to track down and get a copy of the original, hand-written entry in Latin from the church records. --- [email protected] wrote: > > CASANFRA-D Digest Volume 06 : Issue 94 > > Today's Topics: > #1 Need some advise on a marriage rec [The > Schafers <[email protected]] > #2 Re: [CASANFRA] Need some advise on [mt view > <[email protected]>] > > Administrivia: > Visit San Francisco Genealogy at: > http://www.sfgenealogy.com > > To unsubscribe from CASANFRA-D, send a message to > [email protected] > that contains in the body of the message the command > unsubscribe > and no other text.

Hi, I'm looking for a place I can write to for a lookup for a marriage write up or listing. I have tried a few churches they may have gone to but have had no luck and since it was before 1906 I'm not sure where to look.
