A recent message reminded me that I also have 'Tales of San Francisco' by Samuel Dickson. However, my book is a reprint fom the 1970s and also includes two other volumes called 'San Franisco Kaleidoscope' and 'The Streets of San Francisco' by Samuel Dickson. Other books I have include: Old San Francisco, the Biography of a City from Early Days to the Earthquake by Dorothy Muscatine, copyright 1975 This is San Francisco by Robert O'Brien, copyright 1948, San Francisco A Pageant, by Charles Caldwell Dobie copyright 1934, San Francisco Magic City by Mrs. Fremont Older copyright 1961, Hills of San Francisco by Herb Caen, which describes the neighborhoods of San Francisco, The Blind Boss and his City, Christopher Augustine Buckley & Neneteenth Century San Francisco, by William A Bullough copyright 1979, Some are historical and describe places or events in addition to or instead of people. I will also do look-ups and/or will copy the index of table of contents if anyone thinks this of value. Please send requests to grannypatt100@yahoo.com, in addition to this list, as I catch up on the mailing list sporadically, as time permits and this will help insure you receive a reply in a 'timely' manner.

Hi List I am looking for information on U.S Training Station in San Franciso, I think it was WW1. I have a picture of Harry Livermore who signed his name and put U. S. Training Station SF, wearing a Navy uniform. Is there a site with surnames or any kind of information on this place? Marc

It might have been on Yerba Buena Island. Bill Marcenath@aol.com wrote: > > Hi List > I am looking for information on U.S Training Station in San Franciso, > I think it was WW1.

Got this on another list where they are looking for Librarian for the Swedenborgian Collection, which will now be at the Pacific School of Religion, Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley. But this not about the job, but that people in the past have asked about Swedenborgian Church in San Francisco. Maybe they will have some information here. Not sure if they are ready for a number of question, at this time. So maybe we should wait to they hire the person, which looks like it will not happen until April. ;-) George The Swedenborgian House of Studies (SHS), in partnership with the Pacific School of Religion (PSR), offers training and education in Swedenborgian theology to seminary students and laity. SHS at PSR serves as the seminary for the General Convention of the Swedenborgian Church, a Christian denomination whose theology is based on the writings of the eighteenth-century scientist and mystic, Emanuel Swedenborg. The House of Studies and Collection recently relocated to Berkeley from its century-old home in Boston. SHS has received a two-year grant that will fund a project of integrating the card catalog with the online catalog of the Graduate Theological Union (GTU) library, which is located just across the street. The Librarian will be responsible for directing this integration project and for maintaining a functioning library for student use. The Swedenborgian Collection consists of approximately 27,000 volumes, including works authored by Emanuel Swedenborg, Swedenborgian collaterals, periodicals, reference, and a general collection. In addition, there is a substantial archival collection containing various editions of Swedenborg�s publications, denominational records and other archival materials related to Swedenborgian thought and history. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Thanks to everyone with information on the stop for the Key System, at Treasure Island, it was on Yerba Buena Island, and then you would take a bus down. Still have not found out the last day the trains ran, but will keep looking. Here are a couple of web sites the first is of photos of the cars. The next is a history on the National City Lines, which took over the Key System, a got rid of the trains, for buses. <http://davesrailpix.railfan.net/keysyst/key.htm> <http://hometown.aol.com/chielecry/nclines.html> George __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

While searching the web for something else, I found this at the California Historical Society site. You can not see the photos, but you do have a idea of what ones they do have in their library. <http://www.californiahistoricalsociety.org/collections/photo_collection/photo_guide/sf_streets.html> George Photo collection of S.F.

Hi all; I have gotten several emails from people telling me that they could not access the website. That is because I goofed. The pre-1905 death records for Madera, Riverside, Butte County Book One, San Bernardino Book One can be seen at the following CORRECT website: http://www.rootsweb.com/~cabf1905 Sorry for the confusion. Donna

Marisa, Thank you for sending the information. Originally, I had been told that Anna had married Michael O'Brien first (IRE>NY) then John Kelley in San Francisco. However, I was puzzled by the fact that Jane (you have her listed as Jennie) looked substancially older than her O'Brien siblings in all the photographs I have. If your information is correct and she was married to John Kelley who died in NY then married (Mike?)O'Brien, this would explain why I have had one heck of a time finding John Kelley in San Francisco...hmmmm...On the other hand, Jane was born in California....interesting twist! However, I do have a picture of Anna Dowd(Doud) , Jane (Rodgers), Jane's son John Rodgers, and a man listed as "John Kelley" taken in Marin County, CA in 1913 (I think that's the date on the back, I would have to double check to be sure). So, it sounds like this John Kelley in the picture might be her older brother. I believe at least one of the Kelley brothers married and had children. I have another photograph that my grandmother identified as a John Kelley also. In the picture he is holding a violin. My grandmother said he was quite good and had played professionally somewhere in the Bay Area. As for D.L. Welty, this person submitted information on a Jane Sara Kelley Rodgers to the Native Daughters of the Golden West Pioneer Roster. He/she listed the source of information as a paper on "Early Kelley Family History". I figured he/she had to related in some way, and I would like to find out what other Kelley history they might be willing to share. Christine

Bill Thanks, one more question, someone asked me when the Key Systems trains last ran across the bridge. I know that I rode them the last day, but cannot remember if it was 1958 or 59.
