This is for Adrienne: >From the Placer County Historical Society online indexes, is found the following, although it's not possible to tell if they are in your family line. PLACER COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Marriages: Silva Antone married Johnson Josie, Mrs. 1877 at Colfax Silva Edward B. married Hogins Maria M. 1881 at Newcastle Silva Jennie L. married Culver Edgar W. 1881 at Newcastle Births: (Born to...) Silva E.B. a son 1882 at Newcastle Also, there were some Silva's in El Dorado County and in the area of Folsom, Sacramento County. Again, no way to tell if they are in your family line, but they are other avenues to explore.

Miriam No not all of the old grave sites, were moved to Colma, no matter, what a lot of people in San Francisco, say. For I know that for one person's tomb, a large Pyramid, was moved to Mt. View, in Oakland, in 1902. Would loved to find out how they did that job. He was Senator William Giwn, one of the first two Senators form California. Also I have seen in the records of the Odd Fellows Cemetery, that people were moved from their cemetery to different ones, in California, and even some cases to other states.

The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and is copyright 2001 by Richard W. Eastman. It is re-published here with the permission of the author. Have you requested a copy of Passenger Arrival records or Pension Applications or Military Service Records from the U.S. National Archives? If so, you can expect an extended delay before receiving copies of the records in the mail. The problem is the recent anthrax scare. The following is an announcement from the National Archives and records Administration's Web site at: http://www.nara.gov/research/mailalert.html We have received several comments and questions from researchers about the status and safety of orders being mailed in and out of NARA's Washington, DC area offices. These are the facts as we know them: 1. Mail delivery to Archives I (700 Pennsylvania Ave, NW, Washington, DC) was stopped on October 23rd, due to the discovery of anthrax at the Brentwood mail distribution center, and the Archives I mailroom was closed. 2. Archives I was swept for anthrax contamination and the findings were negative. No anthrax was found. The mailroom, however, has not reopened and until it does, no completed orders are being mailed to customers. These orders include all of the NATF 81 through 86 requests (Passenger Arrival, Census, Eastern Cherokee Applications, Land Records, Pension Applications, and Military Service Records). 3. Orders that were in the Brentwood mail distribution center at the time the center was closed, and other orders addressed to Archives I immediately after the closure will be delayed. 4. Orders addressed to Archives II (College Park, MD) were not affected by the closing of the Brentwood mail distribution center. College Park is serviced by a different mail distribution center. We ask your patience and understanding during this emergency. As soon as we have updated information, we will post it to this web page.

The 1905 information that I provided on George Straughan was from the city directory. The next earlier one that I have access to here at home was the 1892 and no Straughan was listed in it. I'll poke around some more on other sources and see if he shows up.
