Hi Maryann, A remote possibility is that there was an announcement in the hometown newspaper of the parents. Among the various postings from old newspapers that have appeared on this list, I've noticed that occasionally a San Francisco marriage has been written up in counties distant from San Francisco. On the other hand, if you are hoping the marriage record will tell you who the parents are and where they were living at the time of the marriage, the above information is not much help. Hope this helps, Anita C. Monterey County swigartj wrote: > > Hello. I am new to this list and know that marriage records for 1904 > were most probably lost in the 1906 fire.

If anyone who has access to the 1870 and/or 1880 SF Census could look up the surname TAURECK for me it would be greatly appreciated.

The Mormon Tavern in El Dorado County remained until the early 1960s when the El Dorado County fire department burned it down to build the present alignment of Hwy 50. (That is, of course, the standard preservation mechanism in this county of the gold discovery site. We would never want anyone to think we're sentimental about our historic spots...) I'm sure Mormon Gold by J. Kenneth Davies would be of interest to anyone studying Mormon settlement and travels before, during and after the gold rush. As far as the roadhouses in our county, we have found his information to be fairly reliable.

My name is Eileen Martello Gillette. I have over a dozen relatives buried in what used to be Pacheco Cemetery (now called Seasons), in Contra Costa County, CA. If you have relatives buried there, please contact me. I am trying to put together a complete burial list for the cemetery and want to be sure as many people as can be identified are included. I visit there several times a year, so if anyone would like me to check on their relatives graves or take pictures, I would be happy to do that, too. Just let me know. Please provide the basic information: 1) Full name 2) Date of birth and place of birth or age at time of death if date of birth unknown 3) Date of death and place of death 4) Type of burial (i.e.. regular or cremated) 5) Your contact information so others who are descendants can make contact with you If you have any questions, contact me off list at bgeg@directcon.net I have sent this to most of the California lists so some of you may get this more than once. Thank you, Eileen El Dorado County, CA
Could someone who has access to a 1880 census index for San Francisco please look and see if there is a listing for Eliza Bates? Thanks so much! Cindy cwalker@camcomp.com
Carolyn, I checked HISTORIC SPOTS IN CALIFORNIA -4th Edition - 1990. The one sentence write up on MORMON BAR (SRL 323) is the same as what you have there from Gudde - except it says ".....was first settled in 1849 by Mormons". While checking the index for MORMON BAR I ran across MORMON TAVERN - I thought for a minute there might be a connection...... but then found the TAVERN was in El Dorado County...

Hi Patty- Great timing of your message----I am in pursuit of some information on the Mormons who came to Mariposa County in 1848! Can you see if there is any mention of a group of Mormons coming to Mariposa County in 1848 ? We have a location here called "Mormon Bar". The only information I have found on the history of this site regarding the Mormons who came here is from Gudde- it mentions only "Gold was discovered here in 1848 by Mormons, who left soon afterwards for Salt Lake City". Thanks for the lookup!!:-) Carolyn http://www.cagenweb.com/mariposa/ Patty Delgado wrote: > I would be happy to look for information in: > > "California Saints: a 150-Year Legacy In The Golden State" by Richard O.

I'd be happy to do that for you - but it would be much easier and more accurate if you could supply an approximate year of birth - also a location of birth if known..

There has been some interests in the Bancroft Library, just let you know the Bancroft Library, will be closed on Saturday April 27, 2002, for the annual meeting of the "Friends of the Bancroft Library". Did not want anyone to come there and find out that it was closed. George __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hello there On the tree below Elizabeth McCannell b. 1880 was sister to my grandmother Ellen Ann McCannell. My father Cyril was Elizabeth's son Roy's first cousin. I am interested in genealogy and have family information to share back to the 1700's in Scotland and England plus recent history. I am looking for information on the family of ROY SPEAR and his wife FRANCES ??? who lived across the street from Roy's father at 1196 Broadway Street, SanFrancisco in 1938 with at least the two small daughters DONNIE and BETH or BETT listed below. I found a FRANCES SPEAR who died in 1989 in CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, California and am wondering if she lived with one of her children there.
