Try this page: http://www.calgensoc.org/web/cgs/cgshp.nsf?Open for the CA Genealogical Society. Click on Online Databases, then on San Francisco, thenDeaths then 1902-1904. I found the following listing which could be yours. Arpir, Thomas , age 79 born in Canada, died in 1904, 7102 D Directions to send for the death certificate are on their web site. I obtained one and it was "my" family and provided much needed information. My Grandmother owned a rooming house called the Butte Hotel at 2030 Mission St. in 1927-1930+. I went to San Francisco and took pictures of it three years ago, although the name is different it is still standing. I do not know if this would have been the original from 1904 but rather doubt it due to the fire following the 1906 earthquake. Someone else will probably have that answer for you. Mission Street is still there. Hope this helps.

Where would I go or contact for an obituary? The Arper family lived on Mission St. at 2043 in 1890. Is Mission street still in existence? Where would it be or would have been? thank you, Joyce Newton ************************** Visit SFGenealogy.com! http://www.sfgenealogy.com ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message Pat FLOOR: The place for storing your priceless genealogy records --------------------------------- Yahoo!
