Thank you for the quick answer. I'd also like to inquire if anyone has had an ancestor that might have worked for the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. My Michael Russell was a fireman who worked for them from about 1860-80 (at least). In the 1863 SF city directory he is listed as working on the SS St. Louis and in the 1864, he is working on the SS Golden City. His residence at the time was Ecker St (or Pl). His wife was Mary Shilly Russell and their children were Julia, John, Edward and Thomas. The 1880 census was the last I saw of Michael, Mary, John and Edward. I can follow Julia to the 1920 when she was living in Burlingame as a live in servant. So I'm looking mostly for death notices, certificates, places of burial and obits. If there are any other places I should be looking, please, I invite all suggestions.

Hi, Does anyone know if the Newspaper Index San Francisco Call Database Index , 18691899, will be extending either way? Or is there anyone else working on earlier databases for the early 1860's in SF area? I love this database and it helped me solve tons of road blocks early on when I started searching in SF. It does seem the Vitals list is growing online which is great too but I was just wondering if anything else will be added? Have a great day, hopefully some of you who were able to go to the lecture will post the things that really were helpful or interesting!

The San Francisco Call Database has been moved to this URL and now covers through 1899 Index to Available Years: 1869-1899 http://cefha.org/usa/ca/sf/sfcall/sfcalli.html As for you question, Liz, about other places to look for San Francisco research...... For all things San Francisco this is the place..!!
