Dear Tami, Perhaps you can help me. I have tried to locate a gr-aunt in SF. through several research means with no success. Maria Camille Martha b.1837 in France married Louis(Alois or Alex) in San Francisco around 1868. Through marriage and other records at the French Notre Dame de Victoires Church in SF. I know she was the godmother for a relative in 1905. I am looking for records which may give me their death date and which may also show her mother's maiden name. I cannot find Alois in the CA Census records after 1880. Could you possibly provide some clues from your Ancestry research that can sent me in the right research direction. Marie Camille was born somewhere in France. I am yet to find her mother, Marie Elisse's maiden name. Verbal records indicate they came from somewhere in the Alsace-Lorraine area of France. Again, without the benefit of a city or location I hit a brick wall in using the Alsace internet list site. Marie's father was John (Jean) Frederick Bronn(Brown). He arrived in San Francisco on Dec. 18, 1849. Any tips or other which you can come up with would be very, very much appreciated. Luzel [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected])

Luzel, I don't know whether your Louis/Alois/Alex was born circa 1820, but if so, here is a possible match.
