Hi, Helen... I'll be able to do more research in the next few days for you. However, I have a couple of suggestions: 1. Try the databases at California Genealogical Society www.calgensoc.org based out of Oakland. They have SF Court files listed there that might yield something, and they also have some Marin County files. Some things might require membership, if so, let me know and I'll look it up for you. 2. www.SFgenealogy.com has a link to Jim Faulkinbery's (sp?) site that has database listings from SF newspapers dating WAY back. I apologize, I'm unable to find that link at the moment. 3. Also, if children were born 1905 or after, try different combinations in Ancestry.com for mother's maiden names. Just some thoughts off the top of my head. I'll get back to you in the next few days. I'll help where I can.
