Hi Elaine, That's Nancy Peterson. Her book is a gem for SF Genealogy and she's an excellent speaker. The event should be well worth the time.

So far it is a good read and has pointed me in some directions I had not thought to look in :-) I would love to hear her speak. Hubby got it for me along w/some other authors book about lost landmarks... Which by the way Jim was an excellent book!!!! I finished reading it in about two days. Since my grandfather was born in San Francisco and mom spent her jr high and high school years there it was fun to read about places they had in all probability spent time at.
